Summary of Public Comments (RTBM)

Jim Castagna, Sparkill, spoke about STEJ’s penalty payment and asked that this money be used to up keep the Town’s existing parks.

Tom Diviny, Blauvelt, objected to the mud-slinging, derogatory and inflammatory comments made by Thom Kleiner, Mike Maturo and Marie Manning.  The proposed Workforce Housing law did not meet its stated objective for affordable housing.

Esta Baitler, Sparkill, asked for an update about the awful sewer odors and she spoke about auto accidents, speed bumps and speed limit signs along Route 340.

Joan Bourke, Pearl River, said a property located at the corner of Orangeburg Rd and S. Mountainview Ave is a safety hazard and needs to be cleaned up again.

Paul Whalen, Pearl River, said the calling of residents was done to protect the rights of the citizens and the Workforce Housing law did not pass because citizens did not understand it.

Mike Troy, Pearl River, has addressed the Town Board in a civil and heartfelt manner.  He is offended and disappointed in the way the Supervisor, Marie Manning and Mike Maturo have addressed the residents, as “those people”.

Tim Finn, Orangeburg, asked why the Supervisor didn’t respect others and shake hands with everyone in Nyack.

Carmel Riley, Pearl River, said the residents of Orangetown want to make sure that the door is never open for someone to find a loop hole and exploit Workforce Housing.

Patti Pogeweit, Pearl River, questioned the understanding of the Workforce Housing law and she spoke about affordability and salaries versus prices of houses.

Rich Lenihan, Pearl River, said people were not scared into attending meetings.  There are affordable houses in Orangetown and this Town Board cannot say any future Town Board will not change zoning.
