Proud to secure $2 million for the North State Road Water Main Replacement Initiative in the Town of Ossining through the FY24 and FY26 appropriations packages. This funding will upgrade Ossining’s aging water distribution system along North State Road by replacing cast-iron water mains that have experienced frequent breaks and service disruptions in recent years. These investments will improve water reliability for nearly 38,000 users, reduce costly repairs, protect public health, and strengthen the long-term resilience of the community’s infrastructure for years to come. In total, I secured $31 million in the FY26 Appropriations Package for projects across New York’s 17th District. VIDEO AT (4404) Rep. Lawler Secures $2 Million for North State Road in the Town of Ossining - YouTube

Our curiosity was peeked, and a reader wondered if this was one of the leads that the late Robert Scott may have mentioned for his CHRONICLES OF CROTON's VAUDEVILLE
She did some snooping about the "T. BACON DENNIS" named in the ad. Google AI to the rescue:
While "T. Bacon Dennis" is not widely recognized today as a prominent, nationally touring vaudeville headliner, local history and genealogical records strongly point to him being a regional performer or member of a theatrical family in Westchester County during the early 20th century. [1]
During the vaudeville boom circa 1907, the Hudson Valley was highly active with regional theaters, amateur "hose company" or lodge performance troupes, and traveling novelty acts that frequently played local opera houses. [1]
The plot thickens. She said she'll be back.
Stay tuned.

IN THE NEWS--LIBERAL COURT STUNS WITH RULING THAT HANDS TRUMP MAJOR IMMIGRATION WIN
A liberal-led federal appeals court handed President Donald Trump two immigration victories Wednesday, reversing separate district court orders that had delayed the termination of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for migrants from South Sudan and Ethiopia.
The judgments from the First Circuit Court of Appeals come after U.S. District Judges Brian Murphy and Patti Saris issued back-to-back orders temporarily blocking the Trump administration's termination of TPS for Ethiopia and South Sudan, respectively, late last week. The rulings drew sharp criticism from legal experts and Trump administration officials, who called the judges "rogue" and argued their decisions defied the Supreme Court.

FROM THE MAILBOX -- KALSHI, MEASLES, EATALIA, QUAKER BRIDGE, POTHOLE REPORTS, FAUCI, AND "ANY CHANCE?"
Dry at last---one thing is certain: none of us will have to water for some time---fungi is up, some good, some bad....more on that later...and
Finally time for these--please note: a few of these questions were posed and answered not long ago but the requestors missed it---re-posts of those as well as updates:
---To the reader looking for a certain post on the Quaker Bridge replacement, it is possible you are looking for a 2025 WEEK OF JANUARY 16TH Gazette article----contact EDITOR Gary Cahill directly for a copy.
AND ICYMI--BRIDGE has been taken down; see photos and thanks Bob Anderson: PARTS ONE AND TWO HERE
---To the reader who had so many questions: Yes we know about the lawsuit; Kalshi says it is political theatre. Meanwhile, the CFTC filed an emergency motion in federal court arguing that New York’s lawsuit against Kalshi constitutes unconstitutional state overreach and poses irreparable harm to federal oversight of derivatives markets. You can track all the legal machinations in detail if you have a subscription to sites like Reuters---for the Southern District of New York, visit the PACER Portal. Sorry but many of us are simply not well-versed in derivatives. Try a few AI programs; some, however, are more reliable than others. We like Google AI.

PLEASE NOTE --BY TUESDAY MORNING 7/31, OVER 58,000 SIGNATURES, --PLS KEEP THE PETITION MOVING-- EXCERPT: SEE IT ALL AT THE LINK BELOW
Concerns have been raised about Mr. Mamdani’s public positions, associations, and responses to rhetoric that many perceive as hostile to these shared values. These include: A perceived reluctance to clearly and unequivocally condemn phrases such as “globalize the intifada,” which many interpret as endorsing or normalizing violence.
Support for, or associations with, individuals whose public statements or records are viewed by concerned family members as dismissive of American institutions or insufficiently critical of extremist ideologies.
Mr. Mamdani’s own father, whom he has acknowledged as having shaped his views, penned a book shortly after 9/11 in which he argued that suicide bombers should be “understood as a feature of modern political violence rather than stigmatized as a mark of barbarism.” He also argued that there was a moral equivalence between the United States and al-Qaeda.
Mr. Mamdani has praised Brooklyn Imam Siraj Wahhaj, who has been linked to radical Islam, was named as an alleged co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, and served as a character witness for the “Blind Sheikh,” who was convicted in 1995 of plotting terror attacks against the United States.
Mr. Mamdani has blamed the United States for radicalizing Anwar al-Awlaki, an al-Qaeda propagandist linked to the 9/11 hijackers. Critics have likened this to blaming victims rather than perpetrators.
Mr. Mamdani appointed Ramzi Kassem, who previously represented Ahmed al-Darbi (convicted in an al-Qaeda tanker bombing plot), as New York City’s chief counsel.
Mr. Mamdani has endorsed candidates such as Aber Kawas, who described 9/11 as an attack “a couple of people did in the context of U.S. capitalism, racism, white supremacy, and Islamophobia,” and who also expressed sympathy for Ahmed Ferhani, who pleaded guilty to plotting to blow up a Manhattan synagogue.
