==October 2009 Letter==
My friends, neighbors, and residents of Allegheny County:
I am running for a second term for Allegheny County Council so that I may continue to be your voice and that of the people of Allegheny County.
The people of Allegheny County work far too hard for their tax dollars to be wasted on programs that do not fulfill their needs. As you may or may not know:
I saved the taxpayers millions when I was a school board member
I voted NO against the drink tax
I fought hard against the plan to build a tunnel under the river
I backed the Penguin’s plan to build an arena at no cost to the taxpayers
I always try to implement programs and tax policies to alleviate our tax burden and support the many businesses that employ our good people. 
In essence, I never voted to raise your taxes and never will… because I know there are other alternatives to raising revenues.
 
The seat I occupy does not belong to me….it belongs to you and all the people who share the same values, political philosophies and ideologies. To wage an effective campaign, we are having a fund-raiser at the Common Plea Restaurant on October 28 (see attached). Considering what’s at stake, we ask you to seriously consider supporting our efforts by making a contribution and/or passing along the attached brochure to voters who live in District 1. 
 
To learn more you can also visit our website, www.mattdrozd.com, or call me at 412-364-1600. I welcome any suggestions and would appreciate your asking others to donate to our cause and to urge your friends and family to vote for me to continue our mission to further our cause to bring about good government.
Thanks again ever so much and we look forward to hearing from you soon.
Matt
