Students from St. Augustine's School and members of the St. Augustine Parish were joined by other community members at the annual Crèche lighting ceremony in front of the Rockland County Office Building on Wednesday.  They listened to prayers, recited blessings and enjoyed hearing students sing Christmas songs. County Executive C. Scott Vanderhoef and Legislator Ed Day delivered brief remarks. The crèche is a representation of Mary, Joseph and others surrounding the crib of Jesus in a stable in Bethlehem. The crèche is situated between a Christmas tree and menorah.

This French-owned water company wants to implement its pet technology at our expense - it makes sense for the company because the project makes lots of money. There is information available that calls into question the "definitive" studies carried out by the water company. Of course they found that their technology was the best option - what a surprise! They have not made the case that they carried out a disinterested examination of the issues in the public interest. Yes there are still issues. Also, stop threatening us with increased costs from delay. First, it does not make sense and second, you are trying to bully us into accepting your proposal. That is one more sign that something is wrong in your proposal.

There were no open meetings. I attended the April meeting and Mr. Lettre was directed by the Town…Read More Board to return with more precise estimates and to include options for other upgrades. I have attended every meeting of the Town Board since that time and Mr. Lettre never returned in an open meeting. Mr. Borelli indicated that Mr. Lettre had addressed his concerns directly and privately. According to the Open Meetings Law, the deliberations of the Town Board are to be open and visible to the public. Private individual meetings or communications with members of the Town Board so as to avoid open deliberations flouts the intent of the Open Meetings Law. Mr. Gromack's statement of other meetings is inaccurate and, since it was specifically in response to a question about open meetings, dishonest. Mr. Borelli, shame on you for accepting a private communication and not standing by your guidance to Mr. Lettre that he was to come back to an open meeting of the Town Board.
