NURSING HOME SCANDAL AUTUMN 2022--IN THE NEWS

I believed Hochul, but her probe of COVID nursing-home deaths in New York is ‘damn’ late

One year ago, Gov. Hochul met with grieving families who lost loved ones in nursing homes during the COVID-19 pandemic. I was with my husband, Sean, whose parents, Mickey and Dee, were two of more than 15,000 seniors who died from contracting the virus in their long-term-care facilities. I remember feeling optimistic that if she heard our stories and saw our grief first hand, she would help us find answers. The day of the meeting she listened to us, offered her condolences and promised to be fully transparent, helping us get to the bottom of what happened in spring 2020. She apologized to us and told reporters after our meeting that she “gives a damn.”

At the time, I believed her.

But now, more than 2 1/2 years later, we still don’t know why then-Gov. Andrew Cuomo and the state Department of Health ordered more than 9,000 COVID-positive patients into their residences without alerting our families.  MORE AT Hochul's probe of COVID nursing-home deaths in New York is 'damn' late (nypost.com)

MORE DENYING FROM FAUCi AND SCHOOL SHUTDOWN CONSEQUENCES: I I HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT

Fauci says school closures led to ‘deleterious collateral consequences,’ but he had ‘nothing to do’ with it--Dr. Anthony Fauci, the face of the government’s response to the coronavirus pandemic over the last two-and-a-half years, deflected responsibility for school closures in an interview on Sunday while admitting to some negative effects for children.

The head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, who is stepping down in December after five decades in the role, was asked by ABC News correspondent Jonathan Karl whether it was a “mistake” for schools to be closed down as long as they were.

DEVELOPMENT ISSUES: TOWN OF CORTLANDT, FURNACE WOODS SEWER PROJECT YESHIVA OHR

Welcome to The New Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools, our houses of worship--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.

CORTLANDT==$1 Million of State Funding Approved for Critical Cortlandt Sewer Project--River Journal - 1,000,000 of state funding has been appropriated for the proposed Furnace Woods Sewer Project, a critical infrastructure investment in the Town of Cortlandt that will benefit numerous residents and a local yeshiva while also protecting the environment.

“The new sewer project in the Town of Cortlandt will replace failing septic systems that pose potential public health hazards by contaminating groundwater and nearby water bodies with nitrates and pathogens,” said New York State Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins. “That’s why I found it crucially important to support Senator Harckham’s request to invest in this infrastructure project. Waiting any longer was not an option.” MORE AT $1 Million of State Funding Approved for Critical Cortlandt Sewer Project – River Journal Online – News for Tarrytown, Sleepy Hollow, Irvington, Ossining, Briarcliff Manor, Croton-on-Hudson, Cortlandt and Peekskill
