This is very sad. The sophomoric stunt of the city administration has blown up spectacularly, displaying the city once again in a very poor light, and who, of all people, is out front trying to defend the indefensible is Councilman Grice. The councilman is an intelligent man who has worked very hard at his job and has been a voice of reason on the Council. Although I haven’t agreed with many of his positions, I respected them and supported his run for Orange County Clerk.

I regretted his decision not to run for Re-election as a city councilman. The fact that he is now out front on social media attacking the Orange County D.A. and impugning an up and coming journalist is greatly tarnishing his reputation as he finishes his last year in office. What a sad way to end his political career.

A few questions and concerns for you Councilman Grice: 1. Do you understand that instead of just issuing a press release outlining the reduction of crime in Newburgh this sophomoric stunt insured that the “Unhinged attack” resulted in nobody paying attention to the crime statistics that the city was trying to publish? 2. Do you understand that the City of Newburgh does not need any enemies, and therefore does not need to be picking unnecessary fights with the top prosecutor in the jurisdiction and an influential cable news station? 3. Do you now realize that there was no conspiracy between D.A. Hoovler and Blaise Gomez? 4. Do you now realize that neither the D.A. nor Channel 12 news ever said or implied that the City was not doing their mandated crime statistic reporting? 5. Do you realize that there is no news older than yesterday’s news? The arrest report that the City publishes on its website, when I last looked yesterday was updated only through March 5th. 6. Do you realize that an arrest report only contains a fraction of the crimes being committed in the city? How many crimes remain unsolved? 7. The city maintains a very expensive “shot spotter” system. Please be transparent and publish the weekly information of how many times that gets activated.

I believe that you are a good man Councilman Grice. I hope that you will re-consider what you and the city have done, and that at least you will issue a sincere apology to D.A. Hoovler and Ms. Gomez.
