Residents packed Mount Pleasant Town Hall to ask County Executive Rob Astorino about his plan to sue over the closure of Indian Point nuclear power plant.
Astorino's third "Ask Astorino" event was standing room-only Wednesday night.
While many disagreed with the county executive's stance to keep the plant open, others agreed with him.
"Where we can get the energy from?" asked Davy Erasmo. "You want clean energy but yet you want to shut down Indian point."
The crowd asked questions including what Astorino thought about the state Legislature's decision to approve free college tuition. He says he is against it.
"The ripple effect is going to be one that it might be a good program, it might be a worthy program," Astornio said. "I ain't even going to get into that i'm just going to tell you it ain't free."
Things got heated when workers with the Transportation Workers Union asked if Astorino would approve a Democratic proposal to guarantee five days worth of paid sick days.
"We have got to have a balance and if we start disrupting the balance, things get out of whack," Astorino said. "I also have a fundamental concern when we start telling people, private businesses, what they need to do and what they must do."
