An open letter to the Taxpayers & Town Board of Copake

An open letter to the Taxpayers & Town Board of Copake

At the Thursday July 14th meeting of the town board a question was asked about placing a referendum about the Copake Police Department on this November’s Ballot. This has been an ongoing request of many voters for years.  We, the Republican candidates for the Town Board of Copake strongly support our local Police Department, but we also believe it is time for the voters of our town to finally have a say in the decision of our Police Department. We are asking the town board to enact a resolution to place a referendum on this November’s ballot about the future of our Police Department. It is time for the voters to decide on this.

We only ask that if a referendum is placed on this Novembers ballot, that the voters will take the time to get all the facts about what a local Police Department means to our Town.
