After months of protesting Scarsdale Village's secret signing of a contract with Flock Safety for surveillance technology, the contract has been canceled. Many thanks to the over 450 Scarsdale residents who stood up against weak local governance and opacity.

Residents express mixed emotions over new proposed 'Flock Safety' partnership
Elected officials and police in the village have been discussing a partnership between the organization, and hoped to pay for the system through a federally funded grant, which has since been denied.

Today President Trump implemented tariffs on Canada and Mexico. The cost of products will rise for you when you shop. The stock market is dropping, fast. Wall Street. Main Street. Your Street. All affected by ideological policies that are foolish and have no basis in economic reality.

Tonight President Trump could have given a reason to all Americans to welcome his new term. He could have described how he planned to lower the cost of living for everyday Americans.
But rather, he defended his decision to levy tariffs that will raise everyday prices, and stifle economic growth.
