I'm not for or against the clinic. I can see the neighbors have a point against it. I can see theRead More Foster crew really mashed this situation up. However knowing Peekskill as I do I can think of several bars that bring in more active criminals and drug dealers than any methadone clinic ever could

For all of you in support of a Meth Clinic I spoke to 4 police officer and 2 State Troopers that allRead More said not a good thing for any community. I wonder why?? to all the supporters. Look at that Renaissance Project in Ellenville Security Guard killed and nurse was almost stabbed to dealth with months of recovery in a hospital. Many said oh if it wasn't for a Meth Clinic I wouldn't have made it. Oh FYI many in treatment 10 plus years obviously it isn't working folks. In defense of Mr. Catalina I guess we need to ask Mary Foster exactly how much this Article 78 cost in full and sure we will have our answer. Atty fees are astronomical if I knew we could beat this I would pay my fair share in taxes for the future of Peekskill. Unfotunately I don't believe everyone is willing to do that in these tough econonic times.

I get that Mr. catalina blames the current mayor for this situation but This is what I dontRead More understand. He finishes by saying that as a Lawyer he would not support an appeal to the court decision. so what would he do? IF Mayor, what would catalina do about the clinic? i cant believe he wrote that much and never said what his plan to address the issue is.

I stand by my statement- until these contracts are fully re-negotiated and the unions startRead More contributing to their benefits and taking zero % or minimal raises, the taxes will continue to increase year after year- Buchanan will no longer be the so-called "bargain" some claim it is.

Hey Fly, before you make comments, you should check the facts. The contracts are alive and well.Read More Mr. Donahue should try learning to read and checking the facts before sending his brilliant letters to the editor in for publishing. They are almost always entirely fictional....but perhaps he really believes what he says. Yeah, right. He intentionally makes up stories to sucker people like you into believing his nonsense.

All of those lucrative 2% contract raises have since expired! DUH. Unlike the 15% raises yourRead More glorious mayor has doled out with great regularity.

I saw this article linked on Facebook and wanted to comment. I graduated from PHS in 1983 and tookRead More some of Mr. Testa's first technology courses. My interests were not focused on industrial arts classes and I don't recall what brought me to sign up - perhaps it was the mentoring of Mr. Testa through the soccer team. In any event, I remember those courses well and although I did not pursue a career directly related to this content their value was substantial nonetheless. The foundation of any quality educational program lies in broad-based course offerings available to students, particularly in exposing them to technology and arts in addition to all of the traditional academic subjects. I am sure that the classes are very different now and it seems that technology actually should be mandated given the ubiquitous application to all other subjects. Of course I have no knowledge of the details of the Peekskill Schools at this time but I do know that these programs matter and I also know that good programs should not end when good teachers retire. I understand (generally) that the district faces many challenges, but I hope that the district will consider that the value of technology course offerings may in fact be part of a solution to those challenges.
