That's how we found out about Mayor Wiegman's attempt to have Croton pay for his medical benefits. That data was eliminated under the his administration. I hope that the new Schmidt administration will resume the practice do letting Croton voters see how much each employee is receiving in salary and benefit. Note that the FOIL request for this data was denied.<br /><br />In another instance, data regarding the final report by one consultant regarding qualifications for a Village manager was also denied. The cost of the report was $1200 ($100 per hour) but details such as time, recommendations, etc. were also denied. This information should have been public except for a Catch 22 regarding consultants.<br /><br />Both instances occurred during the Wiegman administration. That's not Freedom of Information. Perhaps Mr. Pugh can explain the circumstances about why the FOIL was denied.

Mr. Pugh certainly didn't have anything to say when documents were improperly redacted (Rick Turner letter on the mayor's health insurance) or when residents had to wait forever for Gouveia documents. Then the silence was deafening.
