Mayor

Why is the Village of Mount Kisco becoming the largest landlord and owner of proerty in the Village; for what purpose. And, under what authroity does the Village Board spend over a half a million dollars to buy land without any public input?

This is exactly what the mentality of the current Village Board is; more and more and more spending of taxpayer money. Now the Village Board of Mount Kisco wants to spend $600,000.00 to buy more property. The Village is not, and should not be in the business of becoming the largest landowner in Mount Kisco and the exponential result of becoming the largest landlord of more properties; buying property when we can’t even pay our police officers a decent wage is horrific. The Village should be divesting itself of property and selling off all of its interests in land and real estate, not buying more buildings and other assets which the Village does not need, nor do its residents want. How much more money are we going to spend this year buying property?

We cannot afford to increase the size of our police department, that now has only limited patrols in the evening and not enough patrols to even conduct necessary police functions during the day; the Village hasn’t promoted anyone to police chief in almost two years; it is time for the residents to say enough is enough!
