This small group of newcomers is proof positive that a little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing. While ignorance is not a defense in a court of law, we at The Peekskill Guardian are more forgiving. By virtue of proximity they fell into orbit around one of Peekskill's more corpulent couples. From our mole within the organization we know many attempted to avoid the bile they spew, the crushing gravity exerted by this portly pair allows few to escape.
As for his plan to destroy a world that has shun him, Schmidt decided he would start with "Peekskill First" and destroy the rest later. In the style of his evil mentor he has manipulated the Huts with promises of keeping a no show job at city hall, only a short slither from home. They simply needs to continue anonymously attacking their former friends on Mr. Schmidt's blog (Peekskill Guardian) and LOHUD. But beware Peekskill Firsters, these people turn like milk in the sunshine and it's only a matter of time before they turn on you.
The following are some of the lies being peddled by Schmidt and friends. They support smart development and long-term growth???? Do they mean the smart development that lead to them giving prime main street property away at rock bottom prices to companies like CPC? A company that Peekskill will now have to sue to get the property back. Our city hall insider informs us that legal costs will exceed the amount of money CPC paid for the property in the first place. Thank you Bill Schmidt for rubber stamping that deal for John Testa, we hope you got your cut. The only smart growth decision made on that project was when Claxton voted no to it from the beginning.
Through Bill Schmidt's hate site, "Peekskill Guardian" he has suggested that Democratic Councilmembers have preformed a white wash. If you want to see a real white wash take a look at the gateway townhouse project. Before the last election there was a rush to erect several jumbo glossy signs, which were featured on Republican campaign literature. Along with now faded images the signs screamed, "coming in 2006." For those of us keeping track it's 2007 and the only thing that changed on the lot is the sign, "in 2006" has been painted out or should we say, white washed. Another project rubber stamped by Bill Schmidt, we hope he got his cut.
As far as quality of life enforcement for health and safety, many of you have written in to let us know that it's not true at Mrs. Diaz's house, where she was cited for a fence whose height exceeded allowable limits. Sources informed us that she received a lot of thank you notes from would be slum lords who were happy she helped devalue the neighborhood and make it more enticing to set up shop.
As an aside, we would like to thank everyone for their submissions. We expected to find skeletons, you guys gave us the catacombs. Special thanks goes out to the former Mrs. Bid and also to the twins. And as far as what the custodian saw, and the e-mail we received amusingly entitled, "Here Comes the Judge," look for those stories on our spin off blog, "Testa Watch." We feel it's important to keep an eye on this guy just in case he tries to slither back onto the public scene.
The one assertion made by Peekskill First that made us nearly wet ourselves is that Bill Schmidt will, "continue keeping taxes low." Since you people are new to the city let us catch you up to speed. During Mr. Schmidt's tenure on the Republican dominated council taxes went up over 40% in the City of Peekskill in a period of less that 6 years. It wasn't until Democrats began being elected to the council and providing oversight that taxes where held to zero. If you want to thank someone for zero percent tax increases make it the Democratic candidate for mayor, Mary Foster.
