What people are talking about in 24 hours of LoHud.com:
Environmental groups are concerned about the impact that the development of a new Tappan Zee Bridge will have on multiple fish species which reside and travel through the Hudson’s Haverstraw Bay:
What about the shad [fish] that were not found? The Stripers and all other fish eat these as a main source of food. I think that a decade of no striper fishing is over.”
—Jim Costello
With all the environmental protections and rules governing development on the river, the fish cannot be affected by modern development. This headline is just short of a scare tactic to get people against development. We should be talking about how well the river is doing, so well in fact, that as stated before, we have to worry about one type of fish wiping out another.”

Some teachers have been rehired in the East Ramapo school district to deal with a late-summer surge in student enrollment, after 90 employees were laid off in June when the school board cut nearly $7 million from the budget:
… The fact that the board is threatening the community and the welfare of our children because they will need to use public funds to defend themselves, against the community, is a scare tactic and completely unethical.”
—Glenn Goldberg
Sorry, as much as I hate that there is an organized voting bloc, I once again can’t subscribe to limiting board members to parents-only. The needs of the children along with town finances have to be balanced, and you therefore need fair representation.”
—Blaire Fiedler
…The only people who belong on the board are ones who children go to East Ramapo School District, period.”
—Andrea Nicole Simon
