Pat Ryan: “Your rhetoric never matches your actions.”

Pausing this critical project, without warning or explanation, is a slap in the face to our Hudson Valley community.

We’re doing generational damage to the sense that the military is an apolitical trusted organization that swears an oath to the Constitution, not to a president.

Hudson Valley farmers keep our community fed, and the harsh weather this year has decimated their crops.
