Mayor Victoria Gearity

Rick Pezullo did a nice job of converting my final Monday Mayor’s Message into what sounds like an interview. He adds in details from my final BOT meeting which he attended.

Village of Ossining, New York Mayor Victoria Gearity will no longer represent the village after taking a position working for State Senator Elijah Reichlin-Melnick. Rika Levin will now serve as Mayor.

These actions build a stronger community. All mayors perform these duties, and in doing so, we can't help but feel great love for the people we serve....

My heart aches for the families mourning this tragic loss. I don't have all the details yet and will share when more is available. For now, I'll hug the people in my home a little tighter, say a prayer of gratitude for my loved ones, and a prayer of peace for those facing inexorable pain.

Thank you Congresswoman Nita Lowey for your inspiring leadership. You knocked down door for women at the highest levels, and served the people of your district with integrity, tenacity, and grace.

It is my honor to have been asked by Mayor-Elect Rika Levin to be the mistress of ceremonies for this year’s Inauguration Ceremony.

Please join us at noon on New Year’s Day. The time and day is directed by our village charter. This year it’s easier than ever to attend. First of all, you probably won’t be at a raging late night celebration the night before. Plus, it’s virtual.

When the US pulled out of the Paris Climate Accord, mayors from across the country came together to say, We Are Still In. Belief in science and the need to face climate change head on should not be politicized at the expense of the stability of our planet and the prosperity of our nation.

I was proud to sign this statement to include Ossining along with our friends in the Town and so many other leaders across America. I’m confident the new village leadership will continue to promote environmental sustainability.
