NEWS 12---ACTIVISTS PUSH HOLCHUL TO SIGN BILL PROHIBITING DUMPING OF RADIOACTIVE WATER INTO HUDSON

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

Activists outside Cortlandt Town Hall Monday demanded that Gov. Kathy Hochul sign a bill that would prohibit the dumping of radioactive waste into the Hudson River – a bill that has been on her desk for about a month.

The New York State Assembly and Senate passed a bill banning the dumping of radioactive wastewater, but the bill has blocked plans by Holtec International which wants to safely remove radioactive waste from tanks at the recently shuttered Indian Point Energy Center. The result would lead to over 1 million gallons of radioactive wastewater being dumped into the Hudson, which was scheduled for this summer.

"This has been taking place over the course of the plant's operational life, and also this takes place at nuclear power plants all over the country, all over the world," said U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission spokesperson Neil Sheehan. "The idea is they would filter it, treat it and release it only if it met very specific thresholds so the public would not be harmed." MORE AT

BAY STATE PROMOTES GENDER CONFUSION

Sunday, July 30, 2023--FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE--Contact: C. J. Doyle

On July 27th, Mr. Bob Katzen, Publisher of Beacon Hill Roll Call, contacted the Catholic Action League of Massachusetts, seeking a comment on Senate Bill 2429, An Act Relative to Gender Identity on Massachusetts Identification.

This proposed law, if enacted, would have four effects.

A third gender designation---X, in addition to M and F---would be allowed on all public documents issued by the Registry of Motor Vehicles which identify Massachusetts residents. These documents would include driver's licenses, learner's permits, state identification cards and liquor purchase identification cards.

On their application to the Registry for such a document, a person would be permitted to choose their gender designation, regardless of their biological sex. This choice could include gender X.

Secondly, any person over eighteen years of age, or in the case of a minor, their parent or guardian, would be permitted, retroactively, to alter their birth certificate to designate their sex as X, or to some other, yet unspecified, designation.

Thirdly, a person will be permitted, retroactively, to amend their certificate of marriage, altering both their name and their gender designation, which could include gender X, or some other potential gender designation.

Finally, all state agencies which minister to young people---including the Department of Youth Services, the Department of Families and Children and the Department of Mental Health---will be required to disseminate to the the charges in their care information on changing their sex and gender designations and to establish protocols to assist them in this process.

S.2429 was passed to be engrossed by the Massachusetts Senate on July 27th. The vote was unanimous, 39-0, with all 36 Democrats and all three Republicans voting in the affirmative, (there is one vacancy in the chamber).

The measure will now be taken up by the Massachusetts House of Representatives.

Catholic Action League Executive Director C. J. Doyle made the following comment:

"This bill will require the Commonwealth to affirm and give legal sanction to the ideologically driven delusion that gender is a subjective social construct, which can be altered arbitrarily and capriciously, rather than what it actually is, which is an objective and immutable biological reality."

"It will make government a party to this delusion. It will confuse and falsify public records, and compel government employees, in some cases, against their consciences, to participate in this falsification."
