A LETTER TO THE GAZETTE---CROTON COMMITTEES MUST RESPECT THE CONSTITUTION OR ....TIME TO STAND UP FOR FREE SPEECH IN CROTON (AGAIN)

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



LETTER TO THE GAZETTE

To the Editor:

Village committees serve important functions in Croton. Members are not paid, but they are part of the village government and as such are subject to village policies and the laws of New York. The IDEA Advisory Committee seems to be unclear about their mission and also about the United States Constitution.

Part of the fault can be put on the Village Manager and trustees for failing to exercise oversight and tolerating policy violations. The core problem is IDEA’s refusal to respect minority viewpoints and the rules ensuring minority rights. This can be seen even on the IDEA page of the village website.
