Here are two which we feel are paramount.ġ. Thankfully there are a few engaged voices who still remain, as there are key questions that must be asked of the anointed Mayor before she assumes office. and volunteer fire departments, are better shared with the Hastings Historical Society. Trustee Leaf's memories of the former village where real men once walked it's streets and could be found in places outside the D.P.W. For far too long Hastings has been trading on this romantic notion, which serves no one. If the village is ever to return to any semblance of the "character" of it's former self, this lip service must end. Telling yourself you are what once was, does not make it so.
It was a village where children once walked to school, not an entitled suburban community where S.U.V.'s line Lefurgy Avenue waiting to collect coddled offspring from Hillside Elementary. One thriving with diversity and filled with unique and colorful individuals. That Hastings was an actual village, devoid of group think. Armacost's reliance on Trustee Leaf's insights into Hastings history and character is of course foolishness and will serve little to no purpose.įor the Hastings on Hudson that village Trustee Marc Leaf knew as a youth, sadly no longer exists. Examples of "Fredo's" many disastrous "pilot programs" and embarrassing missteps have all been well documented on this page. This unlike Swiderski who arrogantly engaged in misguided personal agendas without any real understanding of the village he represented. 'As Mayor I will rely on Trustee Marc Leaf's unique insight of the village's history and character.' Though utter lip service, this remark is somewhat encouraging, as it seems to imply that Armacost will preform some form of due diligence before embarking on a particular course of action. With leftists swelling with delusional pride, Armacost continued, feeding more trite to the tribe. She explained that she wanted to be Mayor because she was "upset by national politics." The comment was of course mainlined by all in attendance, as under Swiderski the coopted Board of Trustees has become a podium for meaningless virtue signaling on national politics. Thus the progressive beat of these leftist SJW's goes on, with Hastings now nothing more than a disturbing echo chamber.įollowing her induction, Swiderski's "leftenant" spoke briefly to the small gathering. Armacost, who was herself appointed by Swiderski to fill a vacated seat on the Board of Trustees in 2009, will appoint her own successor in April following her swearing in as Mayor.
#Village returns very village voicey plus#
At a recent caucus / circle jerk, some seventy plus progressives in attendance announced that in March, Trustee Nicola Armacost would assume the thrown vacated by the decade long train wreck known to contributors to this page, as "Fredo" Swiderski. There has not been a single representative outside the "Merton Gang" to sit on the Board of Trustees for over two decades, the last being Trustee Anthony Gagliardi. They are now anointed by the Hastings-on- Hudson Democratic Committee headed by Vanessa Merton, the "Boss Hogg" of this modern day leftist Tammany Hall. Mayors are no longer elected in Hastings-on-Hudson.
