Westchester Dems got $100K from Cappelli camp before $60K donation in New Ro mayor's race--David McKay Wilson--Rockland/Westchester Journal News

Three days ago, the Westchester County Democratic Committee had no plans to disclose the source of its $60,000 donation to New Rochelle mayoral candidate Yadira Ramos-Herbert before the June 27 primary, even though state law required it.  On Friday, the party relented, disclosing it had raised $133,583 during the reporting period that ended May 26, which included $100,000 from real estate developer Louis Cappelli and four executives from his development companies.

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.

Had a request for an info on......THE HESSIAN HILLS SCHOOL---HAPPY TO HELP:

From THE CROTON HISTORICAL SOCIETY FB PAGE---CLICK ON THE PHOTO.

The original Hessian Hills School building on Glengary Road. The building burned down in 1931 and after a fundraising campaign was replaced the building that today is Temple Israel. At the time of the fire there were 77 students enrolled, ages 2 to 14. Between the fire and the completion of the new building, classes were held at Finney Farm. This photo is from the school scrapbook of Tony Dell, now in the collection of the Croton Historical Society. His father, writer Floyd Dell, was involved with the school since its founding in 1925.

TRANS SHOOTER AUDREY HALE--THE LATEST ON THE RELEASE OF HER MANIFESTO

Nashville shooter Audrey Hale’s parents transfer manifesto to Covenant School parents — who are battling to keep it from being released
By Stephanie Pagones

Nashville shooter Audrey Hale’s parents have transferred ownership of her “manifesto” to the families of Covenant School students who are battling to stop them being released.

The move effectively means the parents reeling from the 28-year-old shooter’s rampage, which killed six, are now working with the killer’s family to stop her voluminous writings being made public.

Hale, who was transgender, blasted into the private elementary school on the morning of March 27, and carried out the killing spree before Metro Nashville police shot her down. READ MORE ABOUT THIS AT
