“Once again bigotry has reared its ugly head, here in the North Country, and this time in a place that is supposed to protect the innocence of our children. The vandalism of the Cadyville playground graffitied with racial slurs is just another example of how we must come together and put a stop to these hateful acts. This is not who we are, and I remain committed to working with local leaders to address racial disparity and intolerance in our communities and create a society that is welcoming and all-inclusive.”
