Skaneateles mayor lifts ban blocking critic from village meetings

Village of Skaneateles Mayor Marty Hubbard on Wednesday rescinded a ban instituted last week that prevented a critic of the village board from attending village meetings or speaking to officials.

Last week, town of Skaneateles resident Zack Ford was notified of the ban by an email from village Police Chief Daniel Coon, which said Hubbard had directed it based on Ford’s “disrespect and idle threats” toward the village board.
