MICHAEL BALTER---THE CROTON CHRONICLE -- JUNE 6, 2024

We can save the planet and save on electricity bills--but not always at the same time. Croton's contract with Westchester Power is up for renewal. Any questions?

At this evening's BoT work session, Westchester Power will urge renewal of the Community Choice Aggregation Program. They apparently want a quick answer. Should we take more time to discuss?

The first item on the agenda at this evening’s Board of Trustees work session is a presentation by Nick Tedrow, Deputy Program Director of Westchester Power. Some readers will have heard of Westchester Power, and some will not have. Here is what they say about themselves, taken from their Website:

LIVING UNDER SEIGE---AN UPDATE ON THAT "AFFORDABLE HOUSING" IN PEEKSKILL, 901-903 MAIN STREET, PEEKSKILL PLAZA COMPLEX

Safety, security concerns persist at Peekskill Plaza By Jim Roberts, Sinduja Srinivasan, and Jeffrey Merchan

June 6, 2024---PEEKSKILL HERALD

“I don’t want to have to move, I really don’t. I love my apartment.” – A Peekskill Plaza resident, speaking to the Herald this week.

Three weeks after a story in the Peekskill Herald reported on crime in a downtown Peekskill apartment building committed by homeless trespassers, including allegations of drug dealing and prostitution, new security measures have been added but some residents are still living in fear for their safety.

And, the Herald has learned that Peekskill Police average nearly one call a day to Peekskill Plaza, at 901 Main St., constantly investigating reports of unwanted people, suspicious activity, disputes, harassment and disorderly groups. 

At the same time, the owner of the building is planning on selling the property to another group that intends to keep operating the site as subsidized affordable housing. MUCH MORE AT Safety, security concerns persist at Peekskill Plaza – Peekskill Herald

MIGRANT CHARGED IN COP SHOOTING ALLEGEDLY TOLD POLICE HE WAS ENLISTED FOR VENEZUELAN GANG'S NYC ROBBERY CREW: SOURCES

The 19-year-old migrant charged with shooting two NYPD cops allegedly told police he was recruited by a violent Venezuelan gang’s Big Apple “coordinator” to join a crew of “snatch and grab” moped thieves, law-enforcement sources said Wednesday.

Bernardo Raul Castro Mata — who illegally entered the US last July in Texas — allegedly said he was encouraged to get distinctive tattoos to show his allegiance to the notorious Tren de Aragua gang, the sources said.  The “coordinator” for the brutal street gang provides its members in New York City with mopeds, used in lucrative cellphone robberies, he told police, according to the sources.
