BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT, until the Columbia County Sheriff is replaced by one who is not racist, that there be no actions taken by the Columbia County Sheriff Department within the bounds of the City unless made pursuant to a judge's order deeming that the assistance by the Columbia County Sheriff's Department is necessary and that there is no alternative to such assistance.The reference, of course, is to a comment Sheriff David Bartlett made on Facebook about an incident that happened in Palenville: "Bartlett under fire for comment."
In his statement about the document, Johnson said:
I want to take a short moment to clarify a falsified Executive Order that is going around. This order did not come from my office. We are working well with the Hudson Police Department on reforms. Our Reconciliation committee is preparing next steps to advise me of what our force will look like in the future. Better for the community and better for officers. I've had no contact with the county Sheriffs office but would love to join the county's police reform committee. We stand with our officers but at the same time realize that we have a system that needs change.It turns out that the document the mayor called a "falsified Executive Order" was in fact a Black Lives Matters resolution, which had been sent to the Hudson Common Council on September 2 "for debate and passage." The resolution was posted on imby.com yesterday by Columbia-Greene Democratic Socialists of America, the same group that in May sent letters to the Common Council commenting on the Galvan proposal for 75 North Seventh Street. The entire resolution can be found here.

Who are the C-G Socialists of America? If they support Galvan, then they are way off base.
