DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY TRENDING ON LOCAL SOCIAL MEDIA, LEAF BLOWERS, PRES. TRUMP'S ROCKLAND VISIT

AS ALWAYS, please do your due diligence. Social media is notorious for...... errors..... exagerration.... ANONYMOUS ACCOUNTS AND BOTS.....

DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY continues to trend---June 23, 2026 is shown for the primary: The Democratic primary in New York, including Westchester’s NY‑17 race to choose a challenger to Republican Rep. Mike Lawler, is officially scheduled for June 23, 2026.

Early voting: June 13–21, 2026 in Westchester County.

Considerable discussion as to why the Westchester County Democratic Executive Committee declined to endorse a candidate, and some of the arguments seem bot-driven and anonymous. Again do your own due diligence.

LEAF BLOWERS: "WHEN THE SCHOOL DISTRICT, GOLF COURSE AND VILLAGE ARE SUBJECT TO THE "SEASONAL BAN", MAYBE PEOPLE WILL PAY ATTENTION. Until then, we take our chances on our block and neighbors mind their own business"....yada yada yada

LARCHMONT BUILDING DEPT. SHAKE UP WITH A MENTION OF CROTON

More than two years after the last official Building Inspector moved on, the Village of Larchmont continues to operate without one. Here’s how it happened:

When Dan Gray left the position in 2023, the village decided to fold the job into the Village Engineer’s position, essentially combining the two. Then a consultant recently recommended eliminating the full-time Village Engineer’s position as an efficiency measure, which the Board of Trustees has done. Perhaps seeing the writing on the wall, Village Engineer Vincent “Vinny” Salanitro, resigned in late 2025 to become the Village Engineer for Croton-on-Hudson......SEE MORE AT Larchmont Building Department Shake Up - Larchmont Loop

IN THE NEWS--RESISTANCE GROWS AGAINST NY'S 18 PLANNED SOLAR FARMS.....


New York is strong-arming 18 industrial-scale solar power plants into rural communities across the state despite strong opposition from locals. Schuylerville farmer Alexandra Fasulo had just settled into the idyllic acreage she purchased in 2023 when Gov. Kathy Hochul’s bulldozers came roaring in, poised to thrash 1,800 acres of protected grassland to build a 100-megawatt-capacity solar energy complex in nearby Fort Edward, NY.
