Concern expressed on
mayor's safety
by Jim Golding
Mayor Andrew Hardwick, who first
revealed at the February 28 village board
meeting that he carries a gun for protection
following threats to his safety, read a pre-pared
statement at Monday's trustees meet-ing
in response to a full-page story based on
an interview in Sunday's Newsday.
The mayor said, in part, "After receiving a
number of threats over a period of time, a
series of security initiatives were put into
place, in full cooperation with law enforce-ment
authorities and with unanimous board
approval. Incidentally, some of these meas-ures
go back to 2009, soon after I took office.
Due to the sensitive nature involved and
because there is an ongoing police investiga-tion,
it would be imprudent for me to provide
further details at this time."
He also said that, while he has "complete
confidence" in the protection provided by the
Police Department, he is within his rights to
have applied for a gun permit. "I have had mul-tiple
threats. People have come at me when I
was with my child; when I was with my wife."
The mayor added that he is "not the only
public official that has a license to carry [a
gun], including a number of representatives
that have served and currently serve the resi-dents
of Freeport."
Commenting on the mayor's statement and
the Newsday article, resident Mary Reilly
said she does not want "to see the village
portrayed as the Wild West where people
walk around with guns."
She also criticized the prayer offered at the
recent organization night meeting, calling it a
"mix of religion and politics. There's no need
for a prayer from a member of the clergy,"
she said, referring to herself as "a practicing
Roman Catholic." (COntinued on page 3)
