Could someone please correct this item with the day/date/ and time. Should it be Tuesday the 2nd at 8 PM? Thank you.

If the Mayor really wanted to save taxpayers money he should just abolish the whole Village of Cornwall on Hudson as a Government entity. The Village is just a duplication of services of the Town. An added bonus is that the Town Supervisor is a Village resident. So I suspect that the Mayor is not interested in saving taxpayers money but rather being a bully and trying to intimidate the current police employees.

If we only have one village officer on duty at night and our cars are being broken into, how is eliminating the village PD going to improve the current conditions? As it is there is not enough coverage. Now the town is going to be able to provide the same if not more that what the village is currently doing? Geez, our ridiculously high taxes have to go toward something valuable. If I live in the village and pay both town and village taxes, there should be both a town and village PD.

if we become affiliated with the town our property values will decrease

So, Mike, you "suspect that the mayor is not interested in saving taxpayers money but rather being a bully and trying to intimidate the current police employees." ? I would be ROTFLMAO if it weren't such a totally ridiculous and unfounded statement. You obviously don't know the Mayor at all. I would bet that you have not been to a village meeting and I would bet that you are not raising a family in the village. My money says that you are listening to the old farts that hang out and gossip and crab about everything. Mayor Gross is very concerned about money that is unwisely spent (he pays taxes, too, you know)and he is very concerned about the quality of life in the village. That is why this issue is being brought up; for DISCUSSION and evaluation. It never ceases to amaze me when people bitch and moan about the way things are and then bitch and moan when someone tries to effect an improvement or a change. I personally have no preference for town or village PD. (there is only one reduction that I want to see) but if you feel strongly about the issue get thee to a meeting!

Dang, the comment box left my name off again - gotta go troubleshoot....

Why can't both police departments work together? Let some town cops "cross the village line" and vice versa. We are all neighbors, and Cornwall and the village would benefit from this action. Remember, our police are people too. They want to do a great job...let them! Please, don't throw out the baby with the bath water!

Joe Gross a "bully". Don't make me laugh sooooo hard. Do you even KNOW the man???? What, are you a newbie to Cornwall on Hudson?
