Bill Reilich
Greece Town Supervisor
For Immediate Release For More Information
Sunday, March 29, 2020 Michelle Marini (585) 750-1782
We are all struggling, there is great uncertainty and yes we are all learning as we go how
to get as much “normal” as we can while keeping in mind the safety of ourselves, our families
and our neighbors.
This action was reckless; we now have 9 individuals who have been “dropped off” in our
town. Three of them are sex offenders and the other 3 I am uncertain what their background
is. But what I do understand is that while we are working to keep our residents safe, the job just
got a bit more interesting. A simple press release from the Sheriff was the notification, I received
no phone call, no information, but most importantly I was not given the opportunity to debate my
feelings on the entire directive.
Greece residents did not deserve another burden on their minds, I did not need to divert
time and attention away from doing all I can to lead and navigate through this virus and its
effects on residents, businesses and the viability of our community. This was an unjust
distraction and action that I do not support; it was simply the wrong decision. I am calling on
Sheriff Baxter and all law enforcement agencies to join me in contacting the Governor and
insisting he reverse this directive and remove these inmates from our towns and neighborhoods
and return them to their jail cells.
