Letters to the Editor: Week of Sept. 20

Dismayed by town board’s handling of cannabis

To the Editor:

We have lived in Pound Ridge for 22 years and raised our four children here. It is with great dismay that we have watched the town board led by Kevin Hansan operate at a level of incompetence and disregard for voters’ wishes that surprises everyone who learns the facts. 

From likely violating state laws with respect to the town’s finances regarding reporting and disclosure to ignoring voter sentiment to push their own agenda, they do not act in a way that demonstrates a basic level of performance to hold the office. 

With the documentation of their actions becoming more public, it should bring to light this sad state of affairs in Pound Ridge.
