AYAAN HIRSI ALI--THE SPLC TARGETED ME--NOW ITS RECKONING HAS COME
The scandal raises urgent questions about the integrity of the SPLC’s broader work, particularly its influential Hate Map, which began as a tool for tracking armed militias and skinhead gangs. Over time, it expanded to include mainstream conservative and religious organizations such as the Family Research Council, Alliance Defending Freedom, Moms for Liberty, and the Center for Immigration Studies. In August 2012, a man named Floyd Lee Corkins walked into the Family Research Council headquarters in Washington, D.C., carrying a gun. A security guard named Leo Johnson stopped him and was shot in the process. Corkins told the FBI he chose his target using the SPLC’s map. The organization never acknowledged what its list had set in motion.
To understand how a once-respected civil rights law firm became what it is now, it helps to step back from the SPLC itself and look at a pattern. In 1984, a former KGB operative named Yuri Bezmenov described what he called the four stages of ideological subversion: demoralization, destabilization, crisis, and normalization.

SUPERVISOR BECKER---AN OPEN LETTER TO ALL CORTLANDT RESIDENTS CONCERNING LAKELAND SCHOOL DISTRICT SRO FUNDING
Welcome to Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools, our houses of worship--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.
At one time, the Town did split 1/3 of the cost for an SRO for a Yorktown Police Officer (not a County Officer) that only served Lakeland Copper Beech Middle School. The Town stopped funding the 1/3 cost of the SRO after providing significant notice to the School District, since the cost of an SRO is the responsibility of each School District. The Town does not pay for an SRO for any other school districts that serve students from the Town of Cortlandt. This is why you pay separate school taxes. The Lakeland Central School District’s website specifically states that “[d]district students live in six different towns.

On behalf of the Croton-on-Hudson Police Advisory Committee, I would like to invite you to the Police Department’s flag raising ceremony on May 9, 2026, at 9:30 AM, in recognition of National Police week. The ceremony will take place at the Stanley H. Kellerhouse Municipal Building and will take approximately twenty minutes with light refreshments to follow.
I also invite all residents to cheer on the Police Department runners participating in the Tri County Law Enforcement Torch Run, supporting Special Olympics NY on May 12, 2026. Officers will pick up the torch from the Ossining Police Department at the intersection of Croton Point Avenue and South Riverside Avenue at approximately 3:05 PM. The runners will follow South and North Riverside Avenues/ Route 9A to the northern Village line, just south of Food Town where they will hand the torch off to the next set of Police runners. You are invited to stand anywhere on the route and cheer on the runners. The Croton Police Department has the longest Westchester leg of the charity run at approximately 4.7 miles.
Thank you.
