Did Mr. Varuzzo research the success of the consolidation of services for Ossining before he submitted a proposal to dissolve the Hyde Park Police Department? Most likely not, because if he did and interviewed the residents of the area who receive consolidated services, he most likely would find that they are NOT happy with the services that are being provided and are seeking to terminate the contract between the county.  The writers here at the HV News Lies have been in contact with one of those residents who made it known of their unhappiness and the intention to end the contracted services.

Mr. Varuzzo should stick to teaching school age children how to play Mary Had a Little Lamb on the recorder rather than dabble in matters that are too complex in nature for him.

To further support the argument that contracting services to the county should NOT be done is the question of management and control of services.

Should the town dissolve the police department and contract out to the county, the readers must bear in mind that the management that the town currently has over allocating monies for personnel, equipment, etc. will essentially be lost because it will be a function of the county to address. The county is facing an economic crisis as many municiplaties are as costs increase and revenue decreases. Mr. Varuzzo may argue that consolidating services may be save money, but at what cost to the residents of Hyde Park? The current finanicial status of the county is contained in a presentation in the below power point. Mr. Varuzzo claims to be a liason to the county legislator....or does he have something in common with his former running mate, Joe Kakish, in the matter of telling the truth.
