Dobbs Ferry-Our Beautiful Rivertown
Dobbs Ferry, NY With its earliest roots as an encampment during the Revolutionary War, Dobbs Ferry is a modern-day village within the town of Greenburgh.
The village is named after a historical ferry service that transported residents across the Hudson River during the latter half of the 19th century. The village offers mostly single-family housing, except for a smattering of condos and co-ops along its Main Street/downtown area, which has recently blossomed into a lively dining scene. “Dobbs,” as it is known by the locals, offers a variety of educ

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FROM THE New Rochelle Superintendent of Schools

--------
Finally, I’m sharing additional information about the dangers of edible cannabis and urge all adults who make the choice to use these products, to keep them safely out of reach of children. As you can see from these pictures, cannabis producers market them to look like candy and other snacks that look appealing to children.
By working together we can keep our children healthy and safe.
Here are some additional resources for you from the Drug Awareness Foundation and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

"it's not about the Dead concerts anymore. It's not about Rolling Stones or Roach clips. It's about mass production. It's about an industry. Ma*****na that now resembles the to***co industry. That resembles Big Pharma. That resembles the alcohol industry. Industries driven by Wall Street, Silicon Valley, Madison Avenue and the whole apparatus of commercialization, of not ma*****na, but THC infused any kind of product you want."

LOCALITIES OPT-OUT OF RETAIL MA*****NA
Though ma*****na legalization has passed through ballots in several states, the picture at the local level is very
different. The perception that legalization is welcomed by the citizens of ma*****na-friendly states is not accurate.
Proposition 64, the ma*****na ballot measure in California, received just over 57% of the vote when it appeared on the ballot in 2016. Yet 80% of California localities have denied ma*****na businesses from setting up shop (Alfosni, 2019). This means that the approximately 630 stores licensed by the state are concentrated within 20% of the towns and cities.

MA*****NA POTENCY
One significant problem with high-potency products is the lack of regulation. Numerous studies have found that product regulation in “legal” states is limited (Lamy et al., 2016; Peace et al., 2016; Yates
& Speer, 2018) and internal audits conducted by state governments have exposed gaping holes in regulatory frameworks. In Oregon, for example, the Oregon Liquor Control Commission found that there is one state inspector per every 83 ma*****na licenses (OLCC, 2020) . Perhaps more concerning, no state has limited the potency of these products—and attempts have been quickly blocked by the industry.

OUR VOICES WERE FINALLY HEARD! ............................
Statement Regarding Cannabis Permissive Referendum
POSTED ON: JANUARY 25, 2023 - 9:51AM
At a meeting held 12/13/22, the Board of Trustees voted to permit licensed adult use cannabis dispensaries in Dobbs Ferry. This vote was subject to a permissive referendum. This meant that the issue could be subject to a Village wide vote if a timely petition containing the proper number of signatures by voters registered in Dobbs Ferry was timely submitted to the Village Clerk. A petition was submitted to the Village Clerk and upon review, she has verified that the proper number of signatures has been submitted. She has informed the County Board of Elections.
The Village will now proceed to conduct a special election on the question of whether adult use cannabis dispensaries should be permitted in Dobbs Ferry. The next step includes coordination with the Board of Elections regarding particulars of conducting a special election including the date, cost and procedural details. The Board of Trustees will continue to be transparent in the process of scheduling and conducting the election. More information will follow so please be sure to check our website and the Village newsletter.

Citizen Zuck: The making of Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg
"Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan, walked into Yuriy's Barber Shop, a four-chair parlor with a blue awning over the doorway and a neon "open" sign buzzing in the window. The shop sits in a brick building at the end of Cedar Street, one of the main drags in Dobbs Ferry, New York."
