Seeks to annul approval for Route 9 project The Revolutionary War is over, but a preservation group is continuing its battle over a hotel and retail project planned for Route 9 on a part of a historic site used in the late 18th century as a supply depot for the Continental Army. Friends of the Fishkill Supply Depot and two of its members, Brenda and William McEwing, filed a lawsuit on June 27 in which they asked a state judge to nullify the Fishkill Planning Board's approval of Continental Commons. The lawsuit names the town, its building inspector, the Planning Board, the Planning Board chair and GLD3 LLC and Snook-9 Realty, development companies owned by Domenico Broccoli. As proposed, Continental Commons would combine a 90-room hotel with a restaurant, visitors' center and a replica barracks that would house a museum devoted to the history of the Fishkill Supply Depot. Established under Gen. George Washington, the 74-acre Revolutionary War encampment stretched from Philipstown to the Village of Fishkill and parts of what is now Beacon. The 10.5-acre site, which contains a Speedway gas station owned by Broccoli and a burial site that Friends of Fishkill Supply Depot say may contain the remains of war dead, is across Route 9 from Dutchess Mall and across Snook Road from the Van Wyck Homestead, a former headquarters for the supply depot and current home of the Fishkill Historical Society. The plaintiffs contend that the final site plan signed by the Planning Board chair in April is invalid because the developers failed to fulfill two conditions from the preliminary approval in December 2023 - a work permit from the state Department of Transportation and a letter confirming required excavation. They also claim the site plan and a special-use permit issued to the project have expired because the developer failed to meet a deadline to apply for building permits within a year of site-plan approval. The Planning Board granted the developer multiple 90-day extensions, the most recent of which expired June 12. Among the exhibits submitted with the lawsuit is a May email from the state Department of Transportation, in response to a Freedom of Information Law request, stating that the agency had yet to issue a final work permit. According to the lawsuit, the plaintiffs have made multiple requests to the Planning Board under the Freedom of Information Law for evidence that the conditions of the preliminary approval have been satisfied. Friends of the Fishkill Supply Depot and the McEwings also appealed a state judge's decision in 2020 to reject their attempt to overturn the Planning Board's determination that Continental Commons would not have a "significant adverse impact" on the environment or historical resources. Judge Maria Rosa said she did not have the power to "substitute her judgment for that of the agency." The appeal, filed in May 2021, is still active. Broccoli has also gone to court. In March, a federal judge dismissed a lawsuit he filed accusing members and supporters of Friends of the Fishkill Supply Depot of conspiring to "devalue" the property so they could buy it for "pennies on the dollar." That same month, Broccoli alleged in a lawsuit that statements made in 2023 by Louise Daniele, a former member of the Fishkill Town Board, caused him "reputational harm, substantial emotional distress and humiliation and damage to his key business relationship." In a motion filed May 8, Daniele denied that she defamed Broccoli when she said that Board Member John Forman should recuse himself from votes involving Continental Commons because he rented office space from Broccoli's cousin and the developer donated to Forman's 2012 state Assembly campaign. In June, Daniele filed a motion to dismiss the case.

   It's always silly when somebody says something true and it creates a controversy.  Patrick Mahomes has belly fat.  He's also changed the way the game is played and is the greatest player of his generation.  Reaction to my buried in the back of the podcast comments Monday went viral after Mahomes' trainer came after me on social media.  He's the first trainer in history to argue that belly fat is a good thing and, like a great democrat politician, the fanatics actually believe him.  It's your option to find it charming and good... it's my job to point out the belly fat will be gone someday when Mahomes gets serious like other athletes in their 30's.     Kansas extended their STAR bond offer to the Royals and Chiefs and immediately Chiefs president Mark Donovan says it will take nearly a year to put something on the ballot for the team to stay in Missouri.  This is insane.    The Royals are rolling but it feels like too little too late.  A Pirates player in KC has an awesome list of no trade teams in his contract as he obviously hates income taxes.  Ron DeSantis has a better plan, a perfect plan, for Elon Musk.    Mayor Q takes a dip in a new pool with a shirt and tie on and I think it's a very cool thing for him to do.  Buc-ee's construction at the Speedway is delayed a couple months and Amazon Prime Day is now bigger than Black Friday.

 Stuart and William don't see the listener questions before they press record. They don't really have guests. They explore these topics cold without preparation. Not trying to be the go-to experts as they feel there are enough out there already, they see themselves as the go-to guys who are willing to explore things cold.Scott, Arisaig, Scotland - “What are your biggest challenges personally in 2025, and what are the biggest culturally?”Stuart marched into 2025 armed with flipcharts, fire in his belly, and a dream of accessible fields for all. But by March, the flipcharts were supporting a sad-looking houseplant, and his greatest obstacle was not uneven terrain, but patience and acceptance toward his own ill-health. He'd tried yoga, herbal tea, and shouting at ducks—none worked.Meanwhile, William's job title changed so often it needed a loyalty card. One day consultant, next day “freelance strategist of vibes.” He embraced the chaos like a man at a buffet who forgot what he came for.Culturally, both were baffled. Stuart declared British culture was invisible but everywhere—like damp. William wondered if he was English, British, or just someone who owned a teapot and too many socks.Their shared mission? End othering, talk to strangers, and dismantle the great wall of cultural confusion one biryani-powered chat at a time. Because progress starts with a ramp—and maybe a really good biscuit.Jess, Bishop's Tatchbrook, Warwickshire, England - “Unless it's on the edge of disaster and on the precipice, humanity never seems to want to change, adapt and evolve. Discuss”.Stuart insists that “change,” “adapt,” and “evolve” are not synonyms, despite what motivational posters and management consultants would have us believe. Change, he says, is swapping oat milk for cow's milk and pretending it's just as good. Adapt is realising your oat milk curdles in tea but drinking it anyway. Evolve is becoming lactose-intolerant and being smug about it.William thinks the climate crisis is like waiting for a Hollywood meteor—we want a big dramatic moment before reacting. Meanwhile, Europe is quietly crisping like the forgotten toast languishing in the bottom of a bag belonging to a fellow Speedway supporter of Stuart's. He points out we've already had the disaster movie, we just missed the trailer.They agree: humanity is great at adapting... often in ways that make things worse. Evolution won't save us—it takes millennia, and we've barely got until next Thursday. But if individuals act, influence leaders, and maybe stop voting for people who think climate change is just “weather being moody,” there's hope.What do you make of this discussion?

Doug Boles already had his dream job as president of Indianapolis Motor Speedway since 2013. Then Roger Penske, owner of both IMS and the IndyCar Series, asked him to be president of IndyCar following the departure of Jay Frye in February. The pitch: Boles would retain his first job while also taking on the second. “It wasn't something that I expected,” Boles says in this week's edition of the IBJ Podcast. “When Roger Penske calls you and says, ‘I need your help,' you don't usually say, ‘No.' You say, ‘Yes, sir, how can I help?' And then you get on board and you start figuring it out.”   A few months later, early in the morning after qualifying for the Indy 500 on May 18, Boles called Penske to inform his boss that he felt it was necessary to ratchet up the severity of penalties against two Team Penske drivers—including two-time defending champion Josef Newgarden—by placing them at the very back of the field. “It was not the [phone] call I wanted to make,” Boles said.   Nor was it the only difficult conversation Boles would have with IndyCar teams about costly penalties by the time the Indy 500 victory banquet rolled around on May 26. “This month was probably the most physically and emotionally draining and taxing month that I've had since I've been [IMS] president,” Boles told IBJ. These have been the highest-profile decisions to date in Boles' tenure as IndyCar president as he works on implementing Penske's larger vision. Most importantly, that means bringing together IMS and IndyCar to work more as a single unit and leverage their strengths. It also means working with Fox, IndyCar's new broadcaster, to find ways to build the audience. It means working with promoters and sponsor. All of those topics are on the table in this wide-ranging podcast, as well as emerging efforts to improve inspection of cars and to create an independent officiating board that would operate completely outside the Penske organization to quell concerns about conflicts of interest. Boles also shares his take on the need for the annual irritant shared by many local fans: the TV blackout of the live Indy 500 broadcast.
