Pleasantville Mayor Peter Scherer joins our Local Matters Westchester podcast for a wide-ranging conversation about the village’s future. We talk about the uncertain outlook for the Pleasantville Music Festival, his firm opposition to moving local elections to November, and how the village is working to strike a balance between growth and small-town character amid development questions, parking challenges, and lowering school enrollment.We also touch on affordable housing, his relationship with the Jacob Burns Film Center, village pool problems, and the mayor’s unabashed fanboy love for the Pleasantville Farmers Market — plus whether he plans to run for another term.And in a late-breaking moment, he reads a just-received email from the New York Conference of Mayors detailing how the newly passed “Big Beautiful Bill” will cost New York billions.Big thanks to Genesis/Saw Mill Club for sponsoring these community conversations.
