Ed Riely from, Truesdale Drive. Thank you to the chief for bringing those two items up. It's a shocker to know that the fire department has has to respond everywhere and more than usual to a government run railroad and and and the facilities nearby d…

Just off topic, I'd like to say that, I've done my lawn for seventy seven years, and my wife insisted that an outside guy do it. Part of the landscaping industry, you know. Guy makes about $65,000 a year, and he's the manager as opposed to the other …

It should only be half the size, maybe 30 units. It should look nice. It's gonna have to reinforce the hell out of the bank. You can use Van Wyck Street as an example. Reinforce the hell out of that bank and and make a project look attractive, which …

My name is Ed Riely from Truesdale Drive. I'd like to bring to the board's attention a couple of items because, hopefully, this will be a reform board. In the past twelve months, I've heard at least on two occasions, the chief executive of the Court …

It's just an experience I've had a couple of times in coming to your meetings, which you should be concerned about your security also because of controversial issues that come up in school boards. So in coming to your meetings in the past, I am being…

Because there was a total lack of trust the way this board and educational institutions throughout this state handled COVID, the way they handled DEI, George Floyd, censorship, educational dissent. I'm here because trust needs rebuilt. Our institutio…

Good afternoon. Ed Riely from Truesdale Drive. I'd like to welcome a new member support, new assistant superintendent, and the superintendent for finance. This board has been interesting in that many people in the board, not have been open to evaluat…

In all the committees, the people who served in this school board attended statewide, countywide, looked like never said boo. They may have said boo, but they never implemented boo. And they had to drag their feet until the state instituted a state l…

And then we'll work over to Long Island Power Authority, which had to be removed from the electricity business and replaced by a public contractor from New Jersey, PSE and G, which still the state leans on and treats like crap. So, this little I thin…

That committee needs reform, and it needs diversity. It's called the diversity committee. It is not diverse. It is a left wing progressive in what they do is a perfect example of that. But to continue, there is a boycott against CVS, which is one of …

a lot different, from where I live, and I know you're ready for the emergencies that go with heat in the Croton River, etcetera, etcetera. So I was looking at two things on here, item a three, which is a new sign structure along Route 9. I think this…

It will directly impact him in the price of what he does. I think part of the problem is is when you have two leaf blowers going at the same time with both gasoline powered, it can get pretty loud. But do they do the job quicker? So I asked him as he…

Ed Riely from, Truesdale Drive. Quite frankly, I'm shocked. I thought this place would be packed packed in outrage of what the village allowed to happen with the institution of pot pot wholesale store number one replacing an ice cream store, near a s…

Ed Riely from Truesdale Drive. We're addressing the pot store you invited into Croton. Just to to refresh people's memory, Croton had an option to opt out of pot stores, and some of the the best run villages in the county of Westchester opted out of …

There's a binding referendum, and there's an instructional referendum. It only takes a couple of 100 people to put a referendum on the ballot, and they can't do anything about it. The authorities that run this show here can't do anything about it. A …

Name is Ed Riely from Truesdale Drive. Croton is going to pot, and the principal reason it's going to pot is not because this village board and the planning board unwisely approved a marijuana dispensary in the worst part of the village to to have th…

Leslie Pollak thanked the Board for not voting for PNW BOCES Board Trustee candidate. She requested information on committee member selection.  She also asked for tenure rationales. Why aren't academics in the Superintendent reports? We need answers …

Million dollars. This is a hard way to learn stuff. It's really a hard way to learn stuff. But it's on the backs of those members of the board who were enthusiastic for this, but they were being pushed by this community. So the community can't just b…

My name is Ed Riely. I come from Truesdale Drive. It's a shame that this, subject has to be brought before the planning board to begin with. If the members of the village board had done their job four years ago, they would have turned down marijuana …

I wish you'd take this attitude and demand the same from your state legislatures and the state government, which is a terrible government, by the way. Terrible. And then when you go to send that plea for help to the federal government, which, by the …

If you remember the history of communism, both The United States and throughout the world at the time, many of these people did not denounce Stalin, did not denounce the purge trials, did not denounce the slave labor camps, the pogroms, the killing o…

I'm not accusing Hansberry of anything other than being a communist or very close to being a communist. And I'm not saying she was a violent person. I I don't believe she was. She wrote one of the most beautiful plays, probably the 10 best plays in t…

So, anyone who is reasonable should be on be alert to what perhaps they have in mind. I'd like to commend the trustees who defended our court. Hopefully, we'll retain our village court, and we'll have a decent judge. I'm not optimistic about the curr…

My name is Ed Riely. I live on Trudale Drive. like to point out the obvious that over a course of 12 months, three of the primary leaders of the school district have left or will be transferred to a different job. That makes it a very difficult proce…

We should tell the parents, we should keep this between us. We should tell the parents very reluctantly and so forth. Which brings up the next issue. This is very unpopular. 20% of Antifa is identified as transgender. Of the last six school shootings…

So the American Legion proposed that that be named after him and then maybe a suitable monument be placed there. The historian we refer to the historian who we have great respect for. So Mark Cheshire proposed is that, lest we forget, and there's no …

Ed Riely from Truesdale Drive. Last shot at resolutions, item one. I think the state controller is requiring the village of Croton to get a letter that says they wanna violate the tax cap before they even vote on whether they're gonna violate the tax…

We still have seats in that bus, not too many. And, if you need money, I'll pay for it. Item two is that there's still an ongoing boycott against CVS Pharmacy. CVS Pharmacy is one of the big three whose president led the charge on dispensing r u r u …
