CROTON UNITED MEMBER PAUL STEINBERG'S 5/7 GAZETTE LETTER, THE MAYOR, SOLAR & MUCH MORE

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

CROTON UNITED MEMBER PAUL STEINBERG'S 5/7 GAZETTE LETTER

To the Editor:

Brian Powers (4/30 Gazette) makes some valid factual points, but he is wrong in his criticism of Leo Wiegman. I do not always agree with the Mayor, but on this point custom and practice are on Mr. Wiegman's side.

Mr. Powers details the connections between commercial for-profit solar companies and suggests that there is something improper with Mayor Wiegman using his official position to further his personal interests.

It is true that the Mayor has private commercial interests promoting solar power, as does Mr. Pugh. It is also true that the office of the Mayor has become an adjunct of Mr. Wiegman's company insofar as large amounts of ostensibly "official" time are spent on matters dovetailing with Mr. Wiegman's personal business rather than municipal business.

And the Mayor did submit false official timesheets charging as "village" time attendance at a solar meeting that he did not even attend. That was wrong, and to his credit the Mayor did correct his timesheets when he was caught.
