******5/19 is the vote. Again, hope springs eternal that the usual last minute social media fun and games don't erupt.
In the meantime, the positive chatter continues about the second FORUM VIDEO sponsored by the League. There seems to be a consensus that the incumbents are distancing themselves from the record.

FYI--A LOT OF FOOD INFLATION DATES BACK TO 2020...
A lot of food inflation dates back to 2020-----An interesting breakdown by category. Some (beef, coffee) continues to rise because consumers are willing to pay. And beef is controlled by a few producers.
But all food began a sharp rise in 2020. Once inflation takes off, it is tough to stop. MORE AT https://wolfstreet.com/2026/05/18/food-inflation-in-america-by-product-it-boils-down-to-a-sharp-re-acceleration-on-top-of-already-very-high-prices/
BEWARE THE VERY DANGEROUS PLANT KNOWN AS THE GIANT HOGWEED
For those who don't know, THE GIANT HOGWEED can cause massive and painful blistering if any of the juice/sap makes skin contact. It should never be removed by a homeowner but by a professional only.
Suspected sightings should be reported to the NYSDEC immediately. DO NOT TOUCH THIS PLANT!

HERE IS A 2025 MAP OF SITES Giant Hogweed Control Program Active Sites
Will post 2026 when available.
MIRANDA DEVINE---FAUCI CAN'T ESCAPE HIS "ORIGIN'AL COVID LIE
Dr. Anthony Fauci deserves to be indicted — but he probably won’t be, because his role in the origin of the COVID-19 pandemic that he fought so hard to cover up opens up a can of worms that nobody wants to confront.
He has his great patron Joe Biden’s blanket preemptive pardon to keep him safe from federal charges. But the recent indictment of his former factotum, David Morens, on federal charges of conspiracy and record-destruction for scheming to cover up Fauci’s role in funding the risky gain-of-function research on bat viruses at the notorious Wuhan lab in China, where the COVID-19 outbreak almost certainly began, has raised hopes that Fauci is still in the crosshairs of the DOJ.

TOO MUCH PAYWALL...HOW COME SOME THINGS ARE BEHIND A PAYWALL?
So---there are some complaints recently....
From time to time, we stumble upon items of potential interest that are behind a paywall (this frequently is the case at LoHud for example)--but like to offer our readers the option anyway.
These days, journalism often comes at a cost.
Life is not free.
Time to get over it.
IT DOESN'T TAKE ONE OF THESE....
....to find the latest Croton Crafts and Commerce news (with a smattering of other local events too)-----just visit the CROTON CRAFTS AND COMMERCE FB PAGE instead. It's a public page and you needn't be on FB to view the content (or sign in). Often updated in real time too! And the latest product recalls too. Go to Croton Crafts and Commerce | Facebook
