On Thursday, Feb. 19, the Finance Committee of the Troy City Council held a public hearing on the proposed Good Cause Eviction Law. The Committee approved the measure after the hearing and sent it to the full council, which is now all Democrats. Republican Mayor Carmella Mantello opposes the measure and is calling for further study before enacting it. It guarantees lease renewals for eligible tenants who pay rent on time and follow lease terms. It also limits rent increases to 10% or the rate of inflation plus 5%, whichever is lower. Most of the speakers at the hearing were in favor of the law. We hear from three speakers. Jude of DSA; Lunita Gresham, a retired social worker; and Brian Marsh, a landlord and Mayor of Menands By Mark Dunlea for Hudson Mohawk Magazine.

Today, it is my pleasure to speak with Jeffrey Croteau and Kate Dumas of Tide Cycle, a specialized firm that serves as the outsourced chief investment officer for large, ultra-high-net-worth families and individuals, providing customized investment solutions. Jeff is Founder and CIO of Tide Cycle, which he founded after a successful tenure at Prime Buchholz LLC and Mercer Investment Consulting.

He serves as a Board member of the Foundation for Seacoast Health, a member of the Dean's Advisory Council for the College of Science at Northeastern University, and coaches cycling at Portsmouth High School. Kate is Chief of Staff and Deputy CIO at Tide Cycle. She joined the firm following a brief career pause to explore philanthropic pursuits.

Kate volunteers with Invest for Better and CFA? (Society) Boston to promote financial literacy. Jeff and Kate, and their firm Tide Cycle, are valued Advisor members of FOX, and we are privileged to have their knowledge and expertise in our membership community. One significant and growing tendency in the family office space is for wealth owners to consider and create virtual family offices. Jeff and Kate give an overview of the family office virtualization trend and describe the latest developments in this space. As part of the virtualization trend, outsourcing the investment function is increasingly common among family offices. Jeff and Kate share their perspective on the evolution of the OCIO function and practice in recent years, explaining how the function is defined and how has it changed. One major practical consideration for family offices is how to envision what to outsource and what to keep in-house. Jeff and Kate offer their tips for wealth owners and family office leaders on how to make this important and consequential decision. Another piece of practical advice Jeff and Kate have for family office principals and executives is to consider the full investment function by analyzing the full value chain of activities and players. They talk about this important consideration and highlight how family office professionals can best accomplish that goal. Do not miss this highly instructive conversation with two of the foremost leaders and practitioners in the OCIO space serving top UHNW families and their family offices.

The Finance Committee makes recommendations to the Common Council regarding budget amendments and other matters with significant fiscal implications during the year.

Had been excluded by Legislature for two years Nancy Montgomery, who represents Philipstown and part of Putnam Valley on the Putnam County Legislature, has been named as the chair of one of its committees for the first time since she was elected in 2019. Montgomery, the only Democrat on the nine-member Legislature, had been shut out of committee assignments for the past two years by the Republican chairs. In 2024 and 2025, she served only on the Budget and Finance Committee, which includes every member. This year, Dan Birmingham, who was elected chair on a 5-4 vote with Montgomery's support, assigned her to chair the Health, Social, Educational & Environmental Committee and appointed her to Protective Services. Over the years, Montgomery had repeatedly requested to be part of both committees based on her experience managing group homes for the developmentally disabled, volunteering for the Philipstown Ambulance Corps and dispatching 911 calls. Other than Budget and Finance, the Legislature's committees each have three members. They meet monthly and consider whether resolutions will be sent to the full Legislature. "I'm grateful for the opportunity to serve on both the Health and Protective Services committees," Montgomery said in a statement on Wednesday (Jan. 14). "These committees sit at the heart of how we protect public safety, support vulnerable residents and allocate resources responsibly, especially at a time when federal decisions are creating uncertainty for local governments and communities. "A key priority for me is strengthening policies and funding that support effective collaboration between law enforcement and social services, particularly around mental health and crisis response. I'm looking forward to doing the work, asking hard questions and helping ensure that Putnam County remains prepared, compassionate and fiscally responsible."

When asked by The Current for an explanation, she would only say that she was "using my best judgment" in making assignments. In January 2024, Paul Jonke, then the new chair, excluded Montgomery for the first time. He claimed in a letter that her "inability to work collaboratively, and to act professionally and collegially," and the fact that she had "disturbed meetings" and violated the rules of order justified his decision. He also cited her criticism of Republican legislators for making decisions in secret caucus meetings, "even after you have been provided with conclusive authority that such discussions are entirely proper, ethical and protected by state law." On Jan. 7, Birmingham defeated Bill Gouldman to bec...

Premier André Ebanks is on the road this week, leading a Cayman delegation to high-level talks in London, India and Florida – from shaping policy with UK and Overseas Territory leaders, to strengthening Cayman's reputation on tax transparency and reinsurance.A major development in a high-profile 2022 robbery case: the Court of Appeal has quashed Erick Brian Williams Soto's manslaughter conviction, even as his firearms conviction – and related prison time – remain in place.With one in four students reporting they've considered suicide, and one in eight saying they've attempted it, the Health Minister tells Finance Committee the ministry is moving to expand services – including a dedicated adolescent mental health facility, a new inpatient ward, and a mobile crisis response team.If you're in Savannah this evening, prepare for water service outages and lane closures along Shamrock Road and nearby streets while emergency leak repairs continue.

This week, we're taking a close look at what's going on with the National Rifle Association (NRA). The NRA was swamped by its rivals in the gun debate during the 2025 elections just as it was announcing a major restructuring effort that featured dozens of staff furloughs. To provide insight into the group's plans, we've brought on NRA board member Amanda Suffecool. She is a member of the internal reform movement and now sits on the board's Finance Committee. Suffecool said she is confident that reformers are in full control of the NRA and have a specific plan for its future. She argued the restructuring is necessary to put the NRA on a realistic path to resurgence. Suffecool noted the NRA has spent years running deficits under the old leadership, and the cuts to staff and operations under the new plan will bring the group's budget back into the black. She said that would enable them to better compete down the line rather than face potential bankruptcy. She argued that the reforms she and other members of the new NRA leadership have implemented will bring the group up to modern standards. Suffecool said that while the NRA is reducing the frequency of its paper magazines, it's also expanding its digital offerings. She said it is shifting its fundraising and public relations approach to match what works in 2025, rather than sticking with older methods. Special Guest: Amanda Suffecool.

Leon Black's relationship with Jeffrey Epstein stands as one of the most damning scandals to come out of the financier's world. Despite Epstein's 2008 conviction as a sex offender, Black—billionaire co-founder of Apollo Global Management—paid him over $170 million for what he later called “tax and estate planning.” Those claims collapsed under scrutiny, especially after Senator Ron Wyden's Finance Committee investigation revealed the true scale of the payments and raised questions about whether they were legitimate services or hush money. Black's evasions, his refusal to provide documentation, and his settlement with the U.S. Virgin Islands for $62.5 million only deepened suspicions.What emerges is not a story of poor judgment, but of complicity. Black was not Epstein's victim—he was his lifeline, bankrolling him long after his downfall and sustaining his influence in elite circles. The lawsuits accusing Black of sexual assault, coupled with his forced resignation from Apollo, cemented his fall. Yet he remains untouched by criminal charges, shielded by wealth and the systemic failures of regulators, banks, and cultural institutions. Leon Black's legacy is not one of brilliance on Wall Street but of disgrace: the billionaire who bankrolled a predator and never gave the world an honest explanation why.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com
