CROTON-ON-HUDSON, NY — Elected leaders from the federal, state and local levels have rallied behind the re-election campaign of Croton Trustees Ann Gallelli & Brian Pugh.

Both Ann and Brian are hardworking individuals who work tirelessly for the residents of the Village,” said Puglisi.

“Trustees Ann Gallelli and Brian Pugh have supported a back-to-back tax freeze, ensuring that Croton residents receive their NYS property tax rebate checks. Accomplishing this goal should encourage all taxpayers to support Ann and Brian for re-election,” said Galef.
