TOWN OF FISHKILL – A recent vote by three members of the five-person Fishkill Town Board to name themselves as members of the town police commission is a concern to Town Supervisor Robert LaColla.
Council members Tony Curry, Brian Callahan and Kurt Buck voted themselves in as police commission members in a three to two vote of the town board.
LaColla believes more thought should have been given to the process.
“I don’t think we gave it enough time to consider the whys and wherefores”, he said. “I don’t we considered the positive aspects and the negative aspects of any one of the iterations that are legal. There are several that the state calls for and I think we should have carefully considered each option.”
Among LaColla’s concerns is the potential for conflict of interest of having town board members also serve as police commissioners.
