Westchester County Executive Ken Jenkins said, “Every child deserves access to a strong educational foundation, and every parent deserves the peace of mind that comes with knowing their child is in a high-quality learning environment. By expanding these opportunities, we are helping our youngest learners build the skills they need to succeed, while providing working families with meaningful support to balance the demands of raising a family and working towards a solid future. This investment in universal Pre-K is a major step forward for children and families across Westchester, and I thank Governor Hochul for her leadership on this.”

Village of Tuckahoe Mayor Cara Kronen said, "Governor Hochul’s investment in universal pre-K will make a meaningful difference for families in the Village of Tuckahoe and across New York State. Expanding pre-K will help ensure that all of our youngest learners, regardless of their families’ income or circumstances, have access to high-quality, nurturing early childhood education while providing essential support to working families"

With all the crazy shit going on nowadays, I love that we still have the wisdom to spend money on children and families.

NEW YORK (AP) — An under-construction Manhattan high-rise at risk of collapse was stabilized late Tuesday and some evacuations of nearby buildings were lifted.

“We’ve been monitoring the building for many hours and have not seen any movement,” Ahmed Tigani, commissioner of the New York City Department of Buildings, said during a news conference Tuesday.

By nighttime, residents were allowed back into several of the seven buildings that were evacuated as a precaution. [...]

1. No OMNY card support
2. Drops LIRR/MetroNorth
3. No in-app trip planner (loads the MTA website instead)

Basically what happens is this:

• There's a significant fixed cost associated with maintaining gas infrastructure
• When there are fewer ratepayers, that cost is spread over fewer people
• So once more than a certain percentage of the population quits gas, it kicks off a spiral of increasing prices that push everybody who can afford to get off gas off it
• The few that are left are in real trouble financially.

This is why there has been a push in places like Ithaca to do it block-by-block, allowing for distribution shutdown in conjunction with individual building improvements.

Hi everyone!

I’m getting my dryer vent cleaned soon and thought I’d share — the technician, Robert, is giving a group deal if a few of us book together.

It’s normally $249, but drops to $149 per household when three or more homes sign up. I’ve already booked mine, so we just need a couple more people to join in!

If you’re interested, reach out to Robert at 202-703-0920 and mention my name for the group rate.

Warm regards, Delbert.

NEW YORK (AP) — Zohran Mamdani was elected mayor of New York City on Tuesday, capping a stunning ascent for the 34-year-old state lawmaker, who was set to become the city’s most liberal mayor in generations.

New York Attorney General Letitia James on Wednesday said the state would launch a portal for residents to provide pictures and videos of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents operating in New York City and the rest of the state.
