RASKOB SLIPPEN ARTICLE, GAZETTE WEEK OF 1/9 THRU 1/15/14

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

HIGHLIGHTS ONLY, PLEASE READ THE FRONT PAGE ARTICLE IN ITS ENTIRETY; available in hard copy only.

GAZETTE: RASKOB NAMED NEW CROTON PROSECUTOR, SLIPPEN INSTALLED AS TRUSTEE (in his place)

1) Village prosecutor job is 2 days a week and pays $24,555 year currently. Sitting trustees earn $3,000 a year.

2)The village prosecutor: "Mr. Rosen contacted earlier Monday, said he was informed by Vil. Mgr. Zambrano just before Christmas that he would not be reappointed to another one year term as prosecutor...He said he understood that the mayor wanted to appoint someone else. Mr. Rosen said he found out his successor would be Mr. Raskob from staff in the village court's office."

3) Rosen said: I'm disappointed by not being reappointed as well as the manner in which the information was conveyed, considering his almost 23 years of service....After speaking with Mr. Zambrano Mr Rosen said he called the mayor, indicating he sought the mayor to reconsider but to no avail. He was not told by Mr. Wiegman who his successor would be.

4) Mr. Raskob said earlier Monday that after hearing from Mayor Wiegman that the mayor was planning to replace the village prosecutor, "I suggested myself".


5) He also said: As prosecutor he said he plans to focus on "cleaning up zoning issues;" specifically properties in violation of the property maintenance regulations in the village code. (Editor's Note: We hope his first job will be to have the illegal structures on the Gouveia property removed at her own cost.)
