CURRENTLY TRENDING ON SOCIAL MEDIA--SHERIFFS SUE MARYLAND OVER NEW LAW RESTRICTING IMMIGRATION COORDINATION

A link to the legal docs was posted but it does not work; here however, is the article: GREENBELT, Md. (DC News Now) — A new law in Maryland is largely preventing county sheriffs from coordinating with immigration authorities, and now a majority of them are suing the state to stop it. They’re calling the law an overreach, arguing federal law supersedes state law when it comes to immigration enforcement, and they say it puts their communities at risk.

FROM THAT NEW CROTON.NEWS SITE--PB APPROVES ACCESSORY APT AT 129 SCENIC DRIVE WEST--QUESTIONS LINGER OVER PRIVATE SEWER OPERATOR

As always, please do your own due diligence; the site is AI-dive,

The Planning Board unanimously approved a wetlands activity permit, building envelope modification, and minor site plan for an accessory dwelling unit at 129 Scenic Drive West. A key condition requires the applicants to secure capacity approval from the private wastewater treatment plant that serves the Baltic Estates subdivision — an entity whose ownership has become a mystery to local officials.

The Croton-on-Hudson Planning Board approved an accessory dwelling unit at 129 Scenic Drive West on May 26, granting the Fernandez family permission to convert their walkout basement into a full apartment for Christine Fernandez's parents — but not before navigating questions about a private sewer system whose operators appear to have gone dark.  MORE AT Planning Board Approves Accessory Apartment at 129 Scenic Drive West, Questions Linger About Private Sewer Operator — Croton-on-Hudson, NY

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

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.
