NEW AT ROBERT SCOTT'S POSTSCRIPTS: THE WONDERFUL WIZARD OF OZ

We're so lucky to have Robert Scott. Thanks to his exposes on the Croton bow hunting proposal (now successfully stopped for this year at least) and his treatment of the Harmon housing/re-zoning plans, more and more residents are taking a hard look at our village government.

But there's another side of Scott by way of his wonderful Postscripts blog. Here's what's happening on it now: THE WONDERFUL WIZARD OF OZ 

At the end of the 19th century, the populist movement was growing in America. Robert Scott’s latest Postscripts article uncovers a hidden social and political message in the famous children’s classic. Author L. Frank Baum’s delightful book (and movie) is really an allegory based on unhappiness with banks and Wall Street.
