In a recent government meeting, Rabbi Cutler delivered an invocation emphasizing the importance of community values, respectful dialogue, and the ethical use of free speech. He urged attendees to build bridges and trust in their elected officials, highlighting the responsibility that comes with freedom of expression.
The meeting also took a moment to honor the late Harold Sadler Junior, a dedicated member of the Rotterdam district's volunteer fire company and rescue squad for 42 years. Sadler, who served as fire chief and deputy state fire coordinator for Schenectady County, was remembered for his leadership and selfless service, which significantly impacted community safety. Attendees observed a moment of silence in his memory.
Following these acknowledgments, the meeting transitioned to the legislative conference, led by Legislator Fields, marking the beginning of discussions on various legislative matters.
