A plan has been developed to clear the area and create a formal paved parking area, approximately tripling the number of off-street parking spaces available for residents in the area.  Work is expected to begin on (HAS BEGUN) this project during fall 2026.

SATURDAY SOCIAL MEDIA---SCHOOL STUFF, BLAKEMAN, DISMAL NY PUBLIC SCHOOL RANKINGS, IDEA COMMITTEE BACKLASH, ETC.

Not going to spend a fine Saturday wrapped in social media political angst or performance theatre, but encapsulating the school chatter in a nutshell:

---Republican Bruce Blakeman on Friday ripped Gov. Kathy Hochul for New York students’ dismal test scores under her watch. Lots of applause for his hammering of Hochul over the numbers.

---Lots of talk about the Croton.News site---and this post: Croton-Harmon accepts audit as student data sharpens curriculum plans — Croton-on-Hudson, NY

---Lots of talk about the school continuing to liaison with the IDEA Committee under the present scandal; much chatter about the lack of an SRO.

---Much support among the parents for Pete Tsagarakis of the diner; much support for the Jessica Dieckman and Paul Steinberg Gazette letters. It seems quite a few parents have had enough of being expected to "sing in the choir"--and their children as well.....what happens next is anyone's guess especially if this goes federal...

SARCONE, PATRONE, FIVE NON-CITIZENS ARRESTED FOR VOTER FRAUD ACROSS THE NORTHERN DISTRICT

On October 13 and 14, 2026, Vikki Bradt, age 51, a British National, of Ballston Spa, NY, Samantha Merkle, age 55, a British National of Glens Falls, NY, Suad Sasic, age 30, a Bosnian National of Clifton Park, NY, Jacques Patry, age 64, a Canadian National of Tupper Lake, NY, and Paula Stitt, age 57, a Canadian National of Albany, NY, appeared on charges of voting by aliens. All defendants are lawful permanent residents. First Assistant United States Attorney John A. Sarcone III and Anthony Patrone, Acting Special Agent in Charge of the Buffalo Field Office of Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) made the announcement.

The complaints against all five defendants allege that they are aliens, who knew they were not United States citizens and that they knowingly voted in an election held in part for the purpose of electing a candidate for President, Vice President, Member of the United States Senate, or Member of the United States House of Representatives......First Assistant United States Attorney John A. Sarcone III stated, “the law is clear that only U.S. citizens can vote in elections that have candidates running for federal office. When non-citizens vote, the public loses confidence in the integrity of the election process and its outcome. Our office, working with our federal law enforcement partners, will work tirelessly to prosecute those who should not have voted, but did. Just this week, our office filed charges against five individuals, all of whom were non-citizens and unlawfully voted in federal elections within the last few years.”

"The integrity of lawful voting and government processes is essential to maintaining public confidence in our institutions," said Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) Buffalo Acting Special Agent in Charge Anthony J. Patrone."  MORE AT Northern District of New York | Five Non-Citizens Arrested for Voter Fraud Across the Northern District | United States Department of Justice
