Keeping my fingers crossed that Sarcone won’t be reappointed.

Why, specifically?

What are your thoughts regarding the Democrat candidate for NYC Mayor, Zohran Mamdani ?

Based on Mr Balter’s reporting and the actions of the judges of the Northern District, it seems clear that Mr Sarcone isn't qualified for the position.

While eager to weigh in on issues not specifically related to the Village of Croton, many readers and the Chronicle editor himself have been strangely silent regarding Zohran Mamdani, the Democrat candidate for NYC Mayor. I wonder why, since his election as mayor could potentially cause social and economic chaos where many Croton residents work and play.

One editorial and several comments by readers on an issue that dominates the news every day in NYS. I would think that folks who work in NYC ( many residents of Croton) would be terrified or at least very aprehensive regarding the Zohran Mamdani candidacy. I understand that this turmoil in the NYC mayoral race is not something many lifelong Democrats are eager to discuss.

Actually, many Democrats are extremely excited about his candidacy. Different people have different views about what it is likely to lead to and what has brought it about. Obviously not everyone agrees with your take on it.

If many Croton Democrats are extremely excited about his candidacy, they are not expressing those views in the Chronical, yet!

So what? He won the Democratic party primary by a wide margin. This is a decision for the voters of New York City.

They are not expressing those views in the Chronical yet because the power brokers in the Democratic Party in NY has not endorsed Zohran Mamdani yet.
