Speakers sound off to Rockland Legislature: 'You want to fix the anger? Do your jobs!'
Tuesday night's county Legislature meeting turned into a venting session for distressed community members, with speakers letting loose about legislators Aron Wieder and Laurie Santulli, unsustainable growth, anti-Semitism, a proposed summit to address divisiveness in Rockland and more.
"You want to fix the anger?" speaker Lauren Marie told the legislators. "Do your jobs!" She was later removed from the room for shouting at another speaker while many spectators rose and cheered for her.
The atmosphere was intense from early evening, with hundreds waiting on line outside to get into the 7 p.m. meeting. The Legislature's auditorium quickly reached its capacity of 220 people, though, and officials estimated that another couple hundred people remained outside, behind locked doors. Sheriff's deputies were all around, one with a police dog.
