FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
August 23, 2022

Statement from County Executive Ed Day

On Tuesday, my office was alerted to anti-Semitic graffiti found in Kakiat Park along the Mahwah River.

The Rockland County Sheriff’s Office and Division of Environmental Resources were immediately notified and took swift action to investigate and cover up the symbol, because lack of visibility does not diminish the hate behind the message. 

I am disgusted and angered by this abhorrent vandalism once again surfacing in our beautiful County. Words matter and hateful language such as this is an insult to the people of Rockland.  My administration vows to work with law enforcement to find and hold the criminals behind this responsible.
