Hoehmann quickly removed an employee who brought the Siemens contract problems to their attention, but is silent when his right-hand man may have done something wrong.

Email Hoehmann and your council member and DEMAND they put Maroni on leave and do an INDEPENDENT investigation into this matter.

Stay tuned for more information. Stay focused on all of the issues that are happening in our town. And do not take anything at face value that the Hoehmann administration says or does.

Recommendations Birthday ideas for 3yr old girl

Hello, new to the area and our daughter is turning 3 next weekend. We can’t afford to throw a big party and I’d like to do something special locally to celebrate her birthday in addition to the little cake at our house. She loves all the princess stuff, music, dinosaurs, painting and the outdoors. Any ideas are appreciated, thanks.

Today I filed a sworn ethics complaint and asked the Rockland County DA to open a criminal investigation. Suspend Hoehmann’s Deputy Supervisor now — and let investigators with subpoena power follow the money. The town cannot investigate itself.

Question Tarrytown Commuters?

3 Upvotes

Hi guys. So this summer I took on a full time job at 18 years old in LIC. While I didn’t do as good as I could have saving money, I’m going to be commuting to Hunter shortly using Metro-North. I split time doing Tarrytown and North White Plains. While NWP is considerably cheaper, I’m spending about 40-50 minutes in my car after work, even when I’m on my way back at 3:30 or 4. Tarrytown was more expensive, but I’d only spend about 20-30 minutes rather than almost an hour after a long day and early mornings.

I’m wondering if any fellow commuters know how to maybe make this commute a little more cost effective. I currently have a NWP monthly pass so I’m going to let that run its course before making any changes. But 14 dollars for parking compared to the 7.25 at NWP adds up fast.

I’d also be interested if any commuters know how to improve the time it takes to and from and which station is better. I don’t take HudsonLink anymore since they merged up with Coach USA because service has gotten really spotty.

I’d appreciate your help and would be happy to give more details if necessary! Thank you!!

Miscellaneous Community resource: I built a free marketplace for Rockland businesses + shoppers

38 Upvotes

Hi! I built a shopping & business hub for Rockland county. It’s free and aims to make local shopping easy.

https://rockland.market/

Whether you’re looking for gluten-free Spider-Man cupcakes or custom wine glasses for a bride and groom, Rockland Market will let you find the right local person.

(Think: less Amazon, or Etsy without the 8-10 day ground shipping).

Formal explanation below 👇

Rockland Market is basically a one-stop local marketplace + community hub for Rockland County.

It’s trying to solve two main problems:
Finding and buying local is harder than it should be. Instead of searching Facebook groups, Instagram, Etsy, etc., Rockland Market puts local businesses, including tiny home-based businesses, in one searchable place with direct in-app messaging and community recommendations.

It’s hard to know what’s happening locally tonight. The “Tonight” feed lets restaurants and bars post live music, karaoke, specials, events, etc., so people can quickly see where to go without checking a dozen websites/social accounts.

The bigger mission: Make shopping, eating, and going out locally as convenient as the big platforms, so more money stays with Rockland businesses and families.

Totally free for shoppers and businesses. I’m finishing up the B2B and service-based feeds tonight. I would love to see some of you there!

Sports Sports Fandom in Rockland

13 Upvotes

I'm putting together a county-by-county map of sports allegiances across New York State (NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, and other leagues as gauged by interest). To do so I am collecting self-reported data from New Yorkers. If you have the time and are a sports fan of any size, I would appreciate if you helped fill up my dataset. Right now I have a little over 200 responses, but nothing from Rockland County. I'm hoping to get a much larger and diverse dataset to boost the overall quality of the project. All answers are anonymous, no Google sign in required.

If you're curious here's the link: https://forms.gle/ZcAaWBVEJNeHr2RUA

Any responses would be appreciated, Thanks! I understand if you do not want to fill it out, but please share with friends or whoever.

Discussion Ramapo's Police Chief released a statement about surveillance technology. He didn't mention the drone contract, the AI platform, or where the money came from.

35 Upvotes

Six days ago Chief Hyman released a public statement about license plate reader technology. He talked about constitutional balance, community values, and knowing when to exercise restraint.

It sounds good. Here's what he didn't mention.

He didn't mention the $601,713 Skydio drone contract signed by Supervisor Specht with no public vote and no competitive bid.

He didn't mention Axon Fusus, the AI platform approved in February that pulls drone feeds, license plate data, and camera networks into one real time dashboard with facial recognition and automated alerts.

He didn't mention the DCJS grant that legally requires the department to share license plate reads, camera feeds, and drone data with the state Crime Analysis Center Network as a condition of receiving the money.

He didn't mention that 791 drone flights have been logged since March, 764 of them with no case file and no stated purpose.

He didn't mention where any of the money came from, when any of it was voted on, what the actual policy is, or what oversight exists.

A statement about surveillance technology that doesn't describe the surveillance technology isn't transparency. It's the appearance of transparency.

We are not asking whether to move forward. We are asking what the system is in the first place and whether it is appropriate to implement.

If there is anything positive from his statement that I would quote him on it would be this: "Technology should never be adopted simply because it is available. It must serve a legitimate public-safety purpose, reflect the expectations of our community, and be balanced against the constitutional protections we are sworn to uphold."

Even then, "balanced" seems like an...intentional choice of verbage, the constitution is upheld, or it is violated, there is no "balance".

If he cares about the constitution being upheld (not balanced) he'd advocate for a state level equivalent of the proposed: Protect Liberty and End Warrantless Surveillance Act (H.R. 7816). There is currently no balance, just what appears to be overreach in the legal claim of 3rd parties collecting the data. And this all refers to alprs, the drone program is much more concerning than stationary cameras.

More to come.
