A LETTER FROM JOEL GINGOLD, THIS WEEK'S GAZETTE, CELL SERVICE FOR THEE, BUT NOT FOR ME - CROTON UNITED
EXCERPT: "This board seems to have unlimited hours to devote to the dog park—the dog park!!—and millions of your dollars to squander on ill-advised projects like Croton Point Avenue and Gouveia Park. Ms. Gallelli, in these pages, rightly railed against Con Ed and Altace pointing out the “critical need for TV, internet and phone services.” But where are she and her colleagues when it comes to ensuring such critical cell phone service for many of us in the village for whom it might be essential to preserve our lives? Nowhere to be found! Is her statement just gross hypocrisy? Or is it just one more example of a board that loves big projects, but has nothing but contempt for its constituents."
