Croton United Member Joel Gingold's Letter to the Editor/ July 10, 2014 at 2:20pmCroton United members differ on many issues but one of the things that brings us together is our commitment to openness in government. In a village the size of Croton, it is both unseemly and unnecessary for village officials to conduct public business behind closed doors, and offering belated admissions of such private meetings only after forcing the public to make a barrage of Freedom of Information Law requests is hardly any better. Please take a look at what Croton United's Joel Gingold has to say in response to the Mayor's Open Letter to Croton Residents regarding the proposed Gouveia acquisition:
To the Editor,
Once again, under a hail of FOIL requests, our “full time” mayor has been caught cutting corners and, likely, violating the Village Code, prompting his lengthy justification of his actions regarding Something Good in the World (SGW). I am not a lawyer, but many of the actions the mayor described appear to me improper, if not outright illegal.

It is so time for all these people to go (Kevin Davis is leaving, wish he could stay, he has been a real positive surprise in all this) and for political parties in this village to STOP. We need trustees who will serve Croton, period, end of story.
ReplyDeleteKUDOS TO JOEL GINGOLD, Linda
ReplyDeleteMaybe we need some outside help.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your letter. In fact thank you everyone this and last week. Unfortunately this board rules with absolute authority. They could care less what you think because they think they know best. Their behind closed door antics have gone unchecked for too long. You will do as you are told. You will pay the taxes we tell you to and you will like it or get out. It really is that simple for them. I pray every day that candidates can come forward and bring sensible government back to our poor cash strapped taxpayers.
ReplyDeleteIf the village gets the property my guess is that something good won't need any permits at all.
ReplyDeleteDeal
Done.
