FUN WITH FLAGS: CROTON UNITED, A LETTER FROM THE GAZETTE ON THE CONTINUING FREE SPEECH RESTRICTIONS IMPOSED BY THE VILLAGE BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND MORE...

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.

The following letter was published in this week’s issue of the Gazette.

To the editor:


Mr. Hasko’s letter (The Gazette, week of July 22/28) is funny, but he raises some serious questions. As a proud son of the Emerald Isle, he will be happy to know that the Croton Village Code 230-4 allows him to fly the Irish flag not only on St. Patrick’s Day but every day of the year. There is a Canadian flag on Old Post North which flies year-round, and Ireland would be a welcome addition.

Croton law explicitly excludes “The flag or insignia of any government or governmental agency” from the definition of “sign” and therefore it is excluded from the requirements of the village sign law.  READ AND SEE MORE HERE..
