GALLELI & WIEGMAN EXPOSED: GINGOLD'S 7/24 LETTER ON THE GOUVEIA PROPERTY & SOMETHING GOOD IN THE WORLD

Welcome to Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON. 

Thanks to documents obtained pursuant to a 6/17/14 freedom of information request...here's an important letter from CROTON UNITED'S Joel Gingold on the developing Gouveia property scandal. Please take the time to read it. 

To the Editor,

At last week’s Village Board meeting, I thought I saw flames shooting up from Trustee Ann Gallelli’s chair as, with a straight face, she told us that she had no knowledge of what Something Good in the World (SGW) was doing on the Gouveia property and what SGW’s plans were.  Now, in response to a FOIL request, we have a 70-page file of e-mails that Barbara Sarbin, Directorof SGW sent to Mayor Wiegman and Ms. Gallelli over the past year, and they directly contradict many of Ms. Gallelli’s statements.  And, guess who compiled the file?  None other than our “full time” mayor.  So we can’t even be sure that the file is complete.

The file does not yet include the e-mails from the mayor and Ms. Gallelli to Ms. Sarbin, but these may be released in the future.  Nonetheless,reading through Ms. Sarbin’s communications, it is clear that nothing short of a conspiracy among the mayor, Ms. Gallelli and Ms. Sarbin has existed for the past twelve months.

  1. Again I have to ask if the rest of the board isnt complicit in all this why aren't they saying anything?

  2. The entire Village Board should resign immediately. This is an absolute disgrace, a real breach of the public trust..

  3. I just don't understand how this could have happened. If we have two officials deciding among themselves that they can take these actions separate and apart from the board, and pursue their own agendas, where is the outrage from the other board members?

    Here's something else to think about. If we had to submit freedom of information requests to find THIS out, imagine what else is going on with:

    175 Old Post Road and the "shared housing"

    HUD and the special permit and God knows what else in Harmon re-zoning

    And the big question, the old garbage transfer station.

    At our board.
