Criminal or Hate-Crime Charges Could Be Filed Against Man Who Made Incendiary Comments at Haverstraw Planning Board Meeting

November 15, 2021 by Jeff Lewis

Officials from the Rockland D.A.’s office, Haverstraw Police and the state Attorney General’s Office are looking at whether a Thiells resident’s alleged anti-semitic comments at a planning board meeting last week could result in criminal or hate-crime charges. The remarks drew swift condemnation from local and state officials, and even the governor. In a statement, Rockland Congressman Mondaire Jones said he was “horrified by the antisemitic comments” noting the county won’t “tolerate antisemitism or any form of hate.” Haverstraw supervisor Howard Phillips says the town has historically been a place of tolerance…

Rockland County Executive Ed Day called the man’s comments “disgusting”…

Hillcrest CUPON Founder Micheal Miller was at the meeting, and says while some area residents were looking to form a local chapter of the group, which seeks to ensure local zoning codes are enforced, the man who made the comments won’t ever be a part of the group…

Callers to “The Morning Show” Friday criticized the man’s comments…

The public hearing was to consider a request by the owners of single-family home on one-point-two acres to add a second floor to the house to build a synagogue and off-street parking. The plan also needs the Zoning Board of Appeals to consider variances.
