Skaneateles resident, board dispute reasoning for ban from public meeting

A Skaneateles man banned from contacting the village’s board of trustees or being on village hall property says the measure is the result of his criticism of the mayor, but officials said the action is the result of threats and antagonism.

Village resident Zack Ford, who plans to run for mayor in the 2021 election, was told this week not to contact the board or use the hall property, and that doing so could result in arrest, according to an email from village Police Chief Daniel Coon and provided to The Citizen.
