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.

Look who's talking : we have always said we wanted it to remain at HVHC why don't you call Mr.…Read More Federspiel and ask him why he is dumping it in a undesirable area that will immensely affect the businesses, real estate, dangerous roads and community at large. You know as well as everyone else he doesn't want it there to tarnish his newly renovated beautiful complex. Ask him how much he is making off his other services. 200 K in the business world is a drop in the bucket. I bet you $10 all those patients that said I am going to contact he didn't even do so. So you are telling me this patients are law abiding citizens? Doubt it I know many people that have confided in me and said their sons, daughters, brother ,sisters have lied cheated stolen, and done time. Guess we will all see what happens in this community. Remember there are kids that will be walking to school. It is going to take one incident to wake up people.

@ Wendy, there are people that would say your fight against the methadone clinic is ridiculous. To…Read More some people, gay marriage is a very REAL issue. Recovering drug addicts need to be able to turn to a clinic in order stay on a path of sobriety and many people disagree with your views. I have yet to see methadone zombies all over the streets of Peekskill. Instead we see non-recovering addicts and dealers in the news all the time. Those people are NOT the people that seek the help of clinics. Drug dealers don't hang out in clinics, they hang out in their homes and wait for the next call to come in. I'm sorry that you don't consider discussion about how Frank was removed from the School Board for LYING about living in Peekskill is something to discuss. To me it shows that he already has a very real history of being a liar and shady in order to keep himself in the spotlight and feeling important. However, I do agree that any of those GOP members sitting on that board could've EASILY raised money every year to keep themselves out of the hole if that's what the methadone clinic was doing for them. As far as Mary emailing you back within 24 hours, while you are a taxpaying resident, she is a part-time Mayor and she does have a life of her own. Let's not think that we are all so important that we deserve answers immediately. We've been posting directly to Frank's blog for over a day now and he has not addressed a single thing that has been discussed. We all know that he's reading this. Seems that in a world of transparent government, Frank doesn't want to answer many questions.

Rose, why is it that you would call me a name? Why not have a productive debate about the issue…Read More instead of name call? I'm sure the anti-gun lobby does not like those numbers- but they are the facts. I know it flies in the face of all of the propaganda- millions of gun purchases and gun crime goes down? This is what we've been saying all along. Leave my natural rights as affirmed by the Constitution alone.
