What originated as an internal investigation of one or more city employees for allegedly collecting disability when they are capable of working, initiated by Newburgh City Manager Michael Ciaravino, has lead to a grand jury investigation. City Council members are up in arms, attempting to fire the city manager.

Show your support for Michael Ciaravino by calling the City Council members at (845) 569-7301 and let them know they will not have your support, whether it be this election year, or any other they decide to seek run, if the City Manager is released from his duties.
