Those of us at The Peekskill Guardian have often wondered aloud, is she a good witch or a bad witch? Well, Barbara LoPrete proved Tuesday night at the open council meeting that she is a very bad witch indeed. This founding member of Peekskill First also cemented the connection between this hate group and Bill Schmidt's hate site, Peekskill Guardian.Ms. LoPrete decided to stage a bit of political theater for the cameras. She stormed up to the microphone and demanded that Councilman Don Bennett answer the rumor started by Peekskill First that when he sold his home He was moving out of Peekskill. She knew full well what the councilman has since stated in a press release. He is downsizing but has no desire or plans to leave a community he loves. We do not believe that it is a coincidence that moments after Ms. LoPrete mounted her broom and fled the chamber the same ugly lies appeared on Bill Schmidt’s Blog, Peekskill Guardian. Peekskill First may deny it, but it is clear that while they smile and talk about civility on the surface, behind the scenes they are the behind all the hate anonymously peddled by Peekskill Guardian and on the LoHud Blogs.
