THE CROTON CHRONICLE---TELECOMMUNICATIONS: TALL TOWERS OR SMALL CELLS -- WHICH WILL BEST SOLVE CROTON'S MOBILE PHONE SERVICE GAPS?

Welcome to The New Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.

Telecommunications: Tall towers or small cells -- Which will best solve Croton's mobile phone service gaps?

The question was debated at a lively and sometimes raucous public hearing on the future of cell service in the village. Also of concern: Possible health effects from cell tower radiation.

MICHAEL BALTER
JUN 27, 2024

Last evening, June 26, the Board of Trustees held a long delayed and much awaited public hearing on a proposed new telecommunications law designed to help improve cell phone service in the village. At least, that’s what Board members insisted that the law will do. But from the first minutes of the hearing, when one resident accused the Board of intentionally setting the microphones at low volume so that no one could hear, to the very end, when two participants called Trustee Len Simon a “liar” and walked out of the meeting room together with others, it was clear that the TelCom law—now 30 pages long in its current draft—has become a hot button issue in Croton.

Indeed, many of the more than 50 villagers who showed up for the hearing were already angry before they arrived. Over the months that the issue has been discussed, some Crotonites have come to question the motivations of the Board, accusing Mayor Pugh in particular of wanting to lease village owned property for the construction of 150 foot high cell towers as a way of raising revenue not only for Croton, but also for major companies in the cell tower business such as Homeland Towers. Homeland has long showed an interest in operating in the village.

In previous posts on this subject, we have reported that village officials appear to have engaged in a long-running feud with some members of their own appointed Telecommunication Advisory Committee (TAC), which refused to disband when told its advice was no longer needed—and which remains an active player in the debate over how to best improve cell service in our hilly village.....read more at Telecommunications: Tall towers or small cells -- Which will best solve Croton's mobile phone service gaps?

U.S. RIGHT TO KNOW STATEMENT ON COVID ORIGINS FOR SENATE COMMITTEE ON HOMELAND SECURITY AND GOVERNMENTAL AFFAIRS

USRTK statement on Covid origins for Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs

Posted: June 18, 2024 by Gary Ruskin

Written Statement of Gary Ruskin
Executive Director of US Right to Know
For the U.S. Senate
Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs

Thank you for inviting me to provide this statement on roadblocks to our investigation of high-risk virological research and the origins of COVID-19, and missing evidence that the public ought to have on these subjects.

U.S. Right to Know is a nonprofit investigative public health group.

Four years ago, we began our research into high-risk virological research and the origins of COVID-19. As a part of this work, we have filed 169 federal, state and international public records requests, including 99 Freedom of Information Act requests. We have written more than 70 news articles based on the information we have gathered.

Some of our public records requests have revealed records that shed light on what our government agencies know about the origins of COVID-19. However, we also saw that some agencies showed a pattern of obstruction, delay and stonewalling.
