Westchester Magazine's 2026 Best of Westchester Party brought high energy to the Glen Island Harbour Club last night, delivering a vibrant tribute to the county's standout local talent. Set against a picturesque waterfront backdrop, the celebration treated guests to an evening of award-winning cuisine, live entertainment, chic local boutiques, and creative vendor activations. Westchester Talk Radio was also on hand to capture the excitement and cover the evening's highlights. Overall, it was a lively gathering highlighting the top businesses and creators that make Westchester exceptional, and honoring the dedicated readers whose support makes it all possible.Westchester Talk Radio host Joan Franzino interviewed Jessica Langlitz, Assistant Manager at Valley Greens Dispensary in Peekskill, which won "Best Cannabis Dispensary" for the second consecutive year. Jessica talked about her background in the industry and explained how the dispensary stands out by fostering a warm, bright, and welcoming "homey" atmosphere rather than a cold or sterile retail environment.
Ads blame congressman for insurance coverage losses Before Cait Conley won the Democratic primary in June to set up a clash with Rep. Mike Lawler for the U.S. House district that includes Philipstown, a group called Empire State Voices had already been buying ads criticizing the two-term Republican congressman's record on health care. In a February video that ran on YouTube, a woman identified as "Tracey from Pearl River" (Lawler's hometown) recounted draining her 401K after being denied coverage for cancer, and then regaining insurance through the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare. She was afraid Lawler "wants to take that away." In a YouTube ad that ran from late April to May, "Karen from Peekskill" accuses Lawler of cutting the Medicaid her parents rely on to "give tax breaks to billionaires." Lawler countered this month with an ad on Facebook and Instagram: "When premiums were on the line, Rep. Mike Lawler crossed party lines to extend the enhanced ACA tax credits that keep coverage affordable for NY-17 families." But the extension of those Affordable Care Act credits did not pass Congress. That failure and changes to the Republican-led One Big Beautiful Bill that could cut Medicaid enrollments by millions of people are two of the major themes as Conley, Democrats and advocacy groups target Lawler in November's midterm elections. His seat is considered a toss-up and is one of Democrats' main targets as they seek to regain control of the House, which has 218 Republicans, 212 Democrats, one independent and four vacancies. Their success may depend in part on the impact of the One Big Beautiful Bill, which President Donald Trump signed on July 4, 2025. The legislation, which Lawler voted for, extended tax cuts set to expire at the end of last year; temporarily raised to $40,000 (from $10,000) the amount of state and local taxes that can be deducted on federal returns; and allowed workers to temporarily deduct up to $25,000 in tips. But its provisions were also projected to cause 7.8 million people to lose Medicaid coverage by 2034. The bill also affected the health care exchanges New York and other states established when President Barack Obama signed the Affordable Care Act in 2010. A year after the enactment of the One Big Beautiful Bill, the effects on health care coverage are starting to emerge. New York said that because of cuts in the One Big Beautiful Bill, the state's no-premium, no-deductible Essential Plan for low- and middle-income residents could no longer cover households earning between 200 and 250 percent of the federal poverty level. The estimated 450,000 people who lost coverage include individuals earning $31,920 or less annually and four-person households earning up to $82,500. Most of the affected enrollees — including an estimated 13,987 in District 17 and 15,656 in District 18, which includes Beacon — have until Aug. 30 to find subsidized health insurance on New York State of Health, the state's health exchange. But unlike their Essential Plan coverage, monthly premiums and deductibles will be required. Danielle Holahan, the executive director for the exchange, told New York Focus, a statewide news organization, that 150,000 to 200,000 Essential Plan users will be unable to buy insurance on the exchange or get coverage through their employers. Their dilemma, which took effect July 1, was the subject of a Facebook ad from a group called Families Over Billionaires. It featured state Assembly Member Dana Levenberg, whose district includes Philipstown. Calling the One Big Beautiful Bill the "big ugly bill," Levenberg charged that Lawler "lied to us. Not once, not twice but three times you voted to cut Medicaid, and you don't represent the people, you represent Donald Trump and all his flunkies." Rep. Mike Lawler, whose House district includes Philipstown, said in an interview with News12 on Wednesday (July 15) that he was arrested on St. Patrick's Day in 2012 on suspicion of drunk driving. At ...
Allows swimming at Beacon waterfront When folk singer Pete Seeger envisioned The River Pool at the Beacon waterfront more than 25 years ago, he said he wanted to encourage swimming in the Hudson, which he sang about as "My Dirty Stream." "He felt that if people were swimming in the water, they would work to keep it clean," said Karen Frillman, president of the pool's volunteer board. Seeger died in January 2014, after the pool had been open for seven summers. The River Pool is scheduled to open this year on Wednesday (July 1) for its 18th season at Pete and Toshi Seeger Riverfront Park. It is waiting for final approvals from the Dutchess County Health Department. Frillman said the department samples the water weekly. "The first year they tested, they said it was [clean enough to be] almost drinkable," she said. "It's a great spot." The health department also inspects the structure to ensure it's safe for the 700 or so children who visit each summer. The pool is 17 feet wide and 30 inches deep, with a net bottom. It's attached to the riverbed with cables, allowing the pool to move with the tide. Seeger modeled the pool after the floating swimming cribs anchored in the East River off Manhattan in the late-19th and early 20th centuries. Volunteers assemble the pool each summer in a cove near the park. It is staffed with a paid lifeguard from noon to 6 p.m. every day except Monday through Labor Day. The group raises about $50,000 a year with The Annual Great Newburgh to Beacon River Swim, scheduled for Aug. 1. Typically, more than 200 swimmers pay $75 to traverse the river escorted by kayaks. The River Pool board would like to see its model replicated, said Ben Weiss, one of its nine trustees. "River Pool at Peekskill, River Pool at Newburgh, River Pool at Albany — that's the big vision." About 10 years ago, the group pitched a larger pool at Scenic Hudson's Long Dock Park in Beacon, measuring 54 feet long by 20 feet wide, with a separate wading pool. "Although this would be an appealing amenity, we were — and still are — concerned about the additional infrastructure, park management demands and liability linked to hosting swimming," said Seth McKee, executive director of The Scenic Hudson Land Trust & Land Programs. For those reasons, McKee said, swimming is not allowed at any of the two dozen waterfront parks and preserves managed by Scenic Hudson, although Sojourner Truth State Park in Kingston, which the nonprofit created with New York State, will soon offer swimming overseen by state parks. The River Pool is part of a larger movement toward providing free, supervised swimming holes. By one estimate, there are 10.7 million swimming pools in the U.S., but only about 300,000 are open to the public. In New York, Gov. Kathy Hochul included funding for new or renovated public pools in her 2024 state budget as part of a program called New York Swims. The state awarded $38 million to municipalities in the Mid-Hudson region, including $8 million to help fund an outdoor aquatic center at Delano-Hitch Recreation Park in Newburgh that opened last summer. In New York City, a nonprofit called Plus Pool has been raising funds since 2015 to build a floating, self-filtering pool in the East River and to deploy river pools across the state, including near the Newburgh-Beacon Bridge. It is testing a 2,000-square-foot pilot this summer near Pier 35 in lower Manhattan.
Passes Highlands on way to NYC New York State announced on Tuesday (June 16) that a 339-mile transmission line that carries hydroelectricity from Canada to New York City has been completed. The line passes the Highlands under the Hudson River. The state said the 1,250-megawatt Champlain Hudson Power Express will deliver 10.4 terawatt-hours of renewable energy and provide up to 20 percent of New York City's power needs. The $6 billion project will help replace some of the power lost when the Indian Point nuclear plant, on the river near Peekskill, closed in 2021. The shuttered plant overlooks the route of the transmission line, which is buried in the river for 68 miles between Greene and Rockland counties. By 2040, it is expected to reduce the state's carbon emissions by 37 million metric tons. Hydro-Quebec, a Canadian hydropower company, partnered with Transmission Developers Inc., owned by the investment giant Blackstone, to build the line. Under a 25-year contract with the state, Hydro-Quebec will deliver electricity from a substation in Québec to an interconnection point in the Richelieu River at the Canadian border. The U.S. portion of the line begins under Lake Champlain in Clinton County and passes through 15 counties, 60 towns and 60 school districts, including Beacon's. It includes 146 miles of underground cable and 193 miles of underwater cable in Lake Champlain, the Hudson and the Harlem River and connects to New York City's grid in Astoria, Queens. According to Transmission Developers, the cable under the Hudson bypassed a section of river contaminated by General Electric that underwent a clean-up overseen by the Environmental Protection Agency, and a section of Haverstraw Bay that is a fish breeding and spawning habitat. The company said the machine used to carve trenches in the riverbed did not disperse large amounts of sediment. Transmission Developers estimates that the line will save ratepayers $17.3 billion over 30 years and provide $1.4 billion in tax revenue over 25 years. Although some counties provided tax breaks, public opposition in Dutchess prompted Transmission Developers in July 2022 to withdraw its request for $105.5 million in tax breaks over 30 years, plus exemptions for $13.6 million in sales taxes and $1.3 million in mortgage taxes. The company is expected to apply again.

Activists have a plan for weekend service A year after the Metropolitan Transportation Authority discontinued a commuter ferry on the Hudson River between Beacon and Newburgh, activists are hoping to raise $200,000 to launch their own weekend service. The Save the Ferry coalition, whose members live on both sides of the river, envisions a free boat running 10 hours on each Friday, Saturday and Sunday from mid-June through October. They hope to demonstrate that demand still exists for the route, which the MTA has replaced with shuttle buses. The service would rely on the Nellie Bly, a 40-person vessel supplied by the New York Boat Co., which runs charter cruises from Peekskill. The coalition said it is in talks to use the Sloop Club dock in Beacon and the Riverfront Marina in Newburgh. The MTA suspended ferry service in January 2025 due to river ice. During the hiatus, the agency said it discovered damage to the floating dock it used in Beacon. Because ridership had also been declining — from an average of nearly 250 people per day in 2008 to 62 in 2024, according to the MTA — the agency officially canceled the service in June, before it ever restarted. If the coalition can secure funding, weekend service "would be one incremental step in the whole restoration of that regional transportation link," said Victoria Manning, a Newburgh resident. Organizers wouldn't say what they have raised so far, but they are asking Hudson Valley legislators to push for funding for their ferry pilot in the 2026-27 state budget. They estimate the $200,000 will cover marketing, insurance, permitting, docking fees and a crew for the season. If funding doesn't materialize, the coalition says it will try again in 2027-28. While the MTA ferry ran only during commuting hours, bringing Newburgh residents to Beacon's Metro-North station to catch trains toward Poughkeepsie or Grand Central Station, the coalition believes a weekend boat would attract casual riders as well as people who work on Saturday and Sunday. "Businesses and individuals have been clamoring for this," Manning said. An MTA spokesperson said on Wednesday (May 6) that the agency has no plans to restart a ferry between Beacon and Newburgh. The bus shuttles are free through 2026; an express route to New York Stewart International Airport has been added. For the third year, the agency will also operate a seasonal weekend ferry between Haverstraw in Rockland County and Ossining in Westchester County beginning this month. Members of the coalition don't understand why that can't happen farther north. Amanda Brown, a Beacon resident and professional mediator, said the MTA told her it shut down the Newburgh crossing because of low ridership. But she believes the agency didn't do enough to examine the reasons behind it. In January, Brown began surveying Main Street business owners in Beacon. Some told her, she writes in a report she hopes to share with the Beacon and Newburgh city councils, that they are certain some customers come from Newburgh. Others said that "anything that could draw people to the area in general would be good for them," said Brown, who plans more interviews. Based on 2024 state tourism statistics, the coalition says its conservative estimate is that 60 passengers on a weekend ferry would generate $187,000 in retail revenue in the two cities over the season. At the high end, they said, with more passengers spending more money, it could reach $750,000. "Newburgh does not have the same level of weekend tourism as Beacon, so our small business community needs this connection," said Manning, a museum registrar who rides the train into New York City three or four times a week. According to the state Department of Transportation, usage of the Newburgh-Beacon bus shuttle more than doubled in the past year. But the numbers don't reflect an important difference between the bus and the ferry, said Manning, who takes a 6 a.m. shuttle to Beacon. On the return trip over the Newburgh-Be...

150 Years Ago (March 1876) Two young men from Peekskill opened a pistol-shooting practice gallery in the Lloyds building (the former Methodist Episcopal Church). In their first organized competition, in which shooters stood erect and fired from 55 feet, William Ladue won the silver cup, hitting the target with 25 of 25, 48 of 50 and 446 of 500 shots. On his last target, he fired five consecutive shots within an inch of each other inside the bull's eye. In a sermon at the Baptist Church, the Rev. C.J. Page explained how a Christian's dying day was better than his birthday. The Cold Spring budget included funds to improve Parsonage Street between Main and Pine and deepen the well on Stone Street. A boat filled with lumber that sank near the lighthouse at West Point was raised and towed to shore to be unloaded. At Fort Montgomery, two amateur actors were wed by the Rev. Mr. Millett as part of a play. The next day, the woman claimed it had been a legal marriage. The ballot for the annual Cold Spring election included 20 candidates for trustee, 10 for assessor, 11 for street commissioner and eight for fire warden. A four-day warm spell that began March 5 swept away the last vestige of snow in the village and ice on the Hudson. The barn of Charles and Daniel Hustis, on the road to Fishkill just north of the North Highland schoolhouse, caught fire at 8 p.m. on a Wednesday. The brothers managed to get two horses out, but Charles nearly lost his life enticing one of the other two. Neighbors gathered, but nothing could be done. The brothers lost the horses, wagons, harnesses, farming utensils, a mowing machine, grain and hay. That same night, at 11 p.m., Pierce Denny walked outside his family's home in Putnam Valley and noticed a bright light in the northern room, where a fire had been kept part of the day. Because they had difficulty rescuing a blind boarder, Maria Davenport, Denny and a laborer, John Van Buskirk, had time only to save one item: a melodeon. Josiah Hustis, 60, of North Highland, after serving as a pallbearer at the funeral of Mrs. Shaw, returned home and complained of pain at the base of his skull. He was taken by neighbors to his sister's home in Fishkill, but died there within an hour. The Cold Spring Library Association canceled a free evening of literary readings and music after spectators filled all 450 seats and every corner at Town Hall, including the stairwells and stage. The editor of the Cold Spring Recorder scolded the organizers for the debacle and said he would no longer advertise free events. "Ten cents for admission and ten cents' worth of common sense would have made the evening a pleasure," he wrote. However, the next week, he reversed himself when the association said the rescheduled event would require a free ticket. In a commentary entitled "Youthful Depravity," the Recorder editor wrote: "It is a pity that we cannot, in some way, mete out punishment by the laws to that worse class of sins — those which lie way down in the dirty soul. But alas, the spirit of our laws is to punish the effect and leave the cause to produce other effects. We refer to the arrest of several schoolboys and self-esteemed young men for breaking the windows and otherwise damaging John Chase's house [at Breakneck] on the night of the 4th. [Chase had apparently been accused of living with a woman without being married.] The injury to the property is the far lesser crime — the devilish instinct which leads our lads to chase every filthy, drunken and beastly creature in woman's form which comes within 2 miles of the village is 10,000 times worse than the occasional tearing down of a railroad shanty." Joseph Cox came into town for the first time since Dr. George Murdock removed his right eye. The sheriff sold the stock of William Coleman, the bankrupt West Street grocer. The Kellogg Opera Troupe, led by Philipstown resident Clara Louise Kellogg, was touring New England. The Recorder noted that more than 100 inches of snow had f...
In this episode of 'Wait, What Is That' Podcast, hostsBrandon and Katie discuss the Peekskill Riots of 1949 with John Scott Bennett,a filmmaker who has chronicled this significant yet under-discussed event inAmerican history. The conversation centers on the riots that erupted duringconcerts by Paul Robeson, an African American singer, actor, and civil rightsactivist, who faced violent opposition from the Peekskill community and the KuKlux Klan. Bennett, a history graduate from Manhattanville College, sharesinsights into local history, how the riots were a reaction to Robeson'spolitical stance, particularly his support for the Soviet Union, and how theseevents have been systematically erased or undermined in local historynarratives. The episode also explores Robeson's legacy, his subsequentblacklisting, and the broader implications for civil rights and historicalmemory.00:00 Introduction and Hosts Introduction00:32 Introducing John Scott Bennett01:24 The Peekskill Riots: A Historical Overview02:40 Paul Robeson and His Impact04:11 Discovering Local History08:26 The Ku Klux Klan's Influence11:19 Economic and Social Tensions13:59 Paul Robeson's Legacy and Struggles36:51 The First Peekskill Riot40:49 Catholics Fight Back Against the Klan41:25 The Jewish Summer Camp Incident42:27 Obstacles in Documenting Peekskill History43:34 The Peekskill Museum Controversy45:34 Paul Robeson's Struggle and Legacy57:52 The Decline of the Klan01:03:15 Community Response and Support01:04:25 Creating the Documentary Series01:07:32 Personal Reflections and Future Plans
New York City artists say they are pulling back from work centered on race, immigration, and gender identity after federal arts funding was rolled back. Meanwhile, the Port Authority is bracing for a busy holiday travel period with millions expected to pass through regional airports and crossings. Also, in Westchester County, prosecutors say officers seen beating and tasing a Peekskill man will not face criminal charges. Plus, a City Council investigation finds public bathrooms across the five boroughs are often dirty, closed, or missing basic amenities. Finally, as the MTA prepares to stop selling MetroCards, some elderly New Yorkers say the transition to OMNY is leaving them behind.
Mike Diago loves eating, and writing about, food, but his interest is only partly about the cuisine itself. In articles for Eater, Saveur, Chronogram, The Bittman Project and other publications, Mike has created a niche covering the critical role food and eateries play in stabilizing communities. He has written about the surprising Dominican expat tradition of holding spaghetti feasts on the beach; about a BBQ restaurant in the Bronx that has operated continuously since 1954; about a burger place in Jersey City that has anchored its community and overcome sharp racial divides. This food-focused journalism is a side hustle, basically. In his day job, Mike is a social worker for the Peekskill school district, and over time he has successfully blended his interest in cooking with his outreach to teens. In our interview, he describes how he has invited students - many of them disengaged young men - to prepare meals together. In the process, many have found friendship and discovered that they actually do love to learn in a group setting. Also in this interview: Eating in Beacon, Mike's backyard cookouts, growing up with a globetrotting father and more.

How does a global brewer ensure drinkers have the same experience, wherever they are in the world. Brewing has many variables. How can multinational brewers control those variables?In this conversation with one of Heineken's Global Master Brewers, a conversation about global quality covers not just how beer is made, but how drinkers perceive it and even includes a touch of yeast science. Global brewers like Heineken spend millions of dollars ensuring global quality and we get to take a peek behind the green curtain to see how they do it.

As Jehu continues to kill the descendants of Ahab, he shows zeal for the task that the LORD has assigned, but his zeal also leads him to act in evil and underhanded ways that go beyond what the LORD has assigned. Jehu shrewdly brings an end to the priests and worshipers of Baal in the northern kingdom, but as he reigns in Israel, he never turns from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat. Because Jehu does accomplish some positive things in Israel, the LORD grants the family of Jehu to reign for four generations. Rev. William Terjesen, pastor at Lutheran Church of Our Redeemer in Peekskill, NY, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study 2 Kings 10:1-36. To learn more about Lutheran Church of Our Redeemer, visit www.ourredeemerlcms.org. "A Kingdom Divided” is a series on Sharper Iron that goes through 1-2 Kings. The division in the kingdom of Israel in this part of history was greater than a matter of north and south. The biggest division was between the people and their God. Yet even as the people rebelled against the LORD as their King, still He remained faithful to call them back to Himself through His prophets, working through history to send the good and gracious King, Jesus Christ. Sharper Iron, hosted by Rev. Timothy Appel, looks at the text of Holy Scripture both in its broad context and its narrow detail, all for the sake of proclaiming Christ crucified and risen for sinners. Two pastors engage with God's Word to sharpen not only their own faith and knowledge, but the faith and knowledge of all who listen. Submit comments or questions to: listener@kfuo.org
Craft beer has always been more expensive that the beer from multinational brewers. And with prices increasing lately, beer drinkers are making careful choices about the beer they drink. But what goes into the price of beer? Is that $10 DIPA really worth it, or are brewery owners driving Rolls Royces to the bank?A lot goes into the price of beer. We'll sharpen our pencils and find out how much ingredients, marketing and even taxes go into a beer.This Episode is Sponsored by:RahrBSGNeed ingredients and supplies that deliver consistent, high-quality beer?

In today's environment, how should teachers help students understand immigration? How can they create a classroom culture in which students can discuss these kinds of highly sensitive and personal controversial issues? And why is it important that we give students the chance to talk about these issues?To examine these issues, Brett speaks to Zorielle Rodriguez-Alcazar, a veteran high school teacher at Peekskill High School in Peekskill, New York. Zorielle, who is also a doctoral student in the University at Albany's School of Education, is a creative and thoughtful veteran social studies educator who gets to know her students well and adjusts the curriculum to engage their interests.

Brewing with intention, what does that mean? Well, it can mean many things from brewing beers that challenge creative thinking to creating a welcoming space full of options for beer loving patrons to brewing beers that make the brewer happy and fulfilled. In 2025, toeing the line between customer wants and brewer's passion can be a challenge. How do breweries do what they want while also running a business?

The craft beer industry owes much of its success to the modern IPA. While IPA is a historic beer style, it has exploded in popularity in the last few decades, spawning new interpretations of the style. West Coast. East Coast. Double IPA. White IPA. Black IPA. Cold IPA. New England. Sour. Wild. And many, many others.Does “IPA” mean anything anymore? If it does, what motivates a brewer to push the limits of what IPA is and can be? How do brewers think about IPA recipes, especially when redefining it?Guests:Diana Locatelli was born and raised in Cedarburg, Wisconsin, and from there went out to Boulder to study Environmental Engineering at the University of Colorado. Having fallen in love with Colorado, one thing she could not ignore was the local beer scene. At some point after graduating, Diana got herself a homebrew kit along with some buddies, and that's where she really sunk her teeth in. From that point on, it became a major focus for her anywhere she went and Diana just loved seeing what a new city had to offer in the beer world. She got inspired to see if it was something she could make a career of, and lo and behold, she landed herself a job as an assistant brewer at Oskar Blues, where she brewed for about 4 and a half years. From there, Diana moved to Odell Brewing Company, where she spent another almost 5 years. After that, Diana picked up everything she could from those experiences with experienced breweries, and found an opportunity to move back to the homeland in Wisconsin where she started at Hinterland Brewery, which turns 30 this coming May. She became the head brewer at the beginning of the year, and has been continuing the learning journey! Diana loves hops and all things IPA. In her free time, Diana loves to camp, play soccer, watch football, and hang out with her two dogs. Alexandra Nowell has been in the brewing industry for over 15 years. She is the Co-founder and Brewer at Mellotone Beer Project in Cincinnati, Ohio and Technical Brewing Advisor for CLS Farms in the Yakima Valley. Alexandra's love of beer and inspiration for brewing is found in the roots of the recipe, where she strikes a balance between science, art, and intention. Over the course of her career, Alexandra has taken a special interest in the raw ingredient supply chain, with a focus on the crucial relationships linking brewers, growers, brokers, all facets in between, and how that plays out to create the highest quality beer possible.Natalie Rose Baldwin is the brewmaster at lager-focused brewery Wayfinder Beer in Portland, Oregon. She worked as a research and development brewer at Breakside Brewery from 2017 to 2023, and has been brewing since 2014. Natalie's brewing interests vary with a predominant focus on esoteric lagers, hop and malt innovation and specialty beers using seasonal flowers, tea, spices, and fruit. Natalie is a professional judge at the Great American Beer Festival and the World Beer Cup as well as other international competitions. She works with the Oregon Brewers Guild Diversity and Equity Committee, was a Pink Boots Portland Chapter co-leader, and was the recipient of a Pink Boots scholarship in 2018. Outside of work, Natalie enjoys traveling, backpacking, baking, and forever frolicking in fields of flowers with her dog Beef.This Episode is Sponsored by:Brewery Branding Co.Since 2009, Brewery Branding has been crafting merch that helps breweries thrive.They're born and raised in Portland, Oregon, giving them front row seats to the craft beer revolution and inspiring them to serve as your industry ally for everything branded: apparel, headwear, drinkware, and all the “wouldn't it be cool if…” ideas you can dream up.

Is there anything better than beer and cheese? The two are intertwined as some of the best pairings out there and the two are very alike. Cheese and beer are both products of agriculture, the two are made very similarly with cheese undergoing a “ripening” phase similar to fermentation. Cheese has a variety of intensities and flavors, as does beer. Put them together and watch the magic unfold. But how do you pair these two? And how does making cheese work vs. say, brewing a batch of IPA? We'll talk to two experts about all things cheese and beer.

Comedian Kathy Griffin will be performing at the Paramount in Peekskill on March 28 and at The Egg in Albany March 29.
At last, New York City started its congestion pricing program on January 5. We knew that the local mainstream press would be out in force interviewing drivers and elevating the voices of those who were against the toll. We knew that because the New York press corps has a long history of putting the people who commute by car in New York above those who don't. So we went out on congestion pricing's first weekday morning and talked to some people who weren't driving. Some of the people we talked with were random New Yorkers, but mostly we heard from advocates who knew we would be there and showed up in the freezing cold to talk about why they were so excited about the launch of this historic program. Thank you to all the people who spared some of their time on a cold morning to talk to us, especially Samir Lavingia, Charlie Todd, Chris Sanders, Alex Duncan, Rich Miller, Noel Hidalgo, Seth Solomonow, Kirby Kersels, Paul Krikler and Steve from Peekskill.
