Wayne Council Cuts Ratzer Road Project to 46 Homes From Earlier 71-Unit Plan

933–965 Ratzer Rd. — Approximate Site of Proposed 46-Home Zone. Wayne Township's governing body voted 7–2 to introduce an ordinance creating an overlay zone that would allow up to 46 homes on a long-contested Ratzer Road property, with two council members, Al Sadowski and Joseph Scuralli, casting the dissenting votes. The move scales back a far denser concept that had been on the table for the site, and it comes with strings attached: any homes actually built would need to meet a 20% affordable-housing requirement, and the project still faces Planning Board review before a shovel goes into the ground.

NY Republican claims ‘stolen’ election after blue wave, local vote machine chaos

The only Republican on the Westchester County Board of Legislators is refusing to concede to a Democrat in his bid for reelection — claiming the election was “stolen” from him because of local vote machine chaos . County Legislator James Nolan made the wild statement as he trailed Democratic challenger Kisha D. Skipper by 246 votes in his reelection bid, according to unofficial results from the Westchester County Board of Elections. Board of Legislators candidate James Nolan claims the election was stolen from him in a Facebook photo post. Facebook/James Nolan Nolan, who represents portions of Yonkers, Bronxville, and Eastchester, was in position to lose his seat after days of ballot counting following a widespread programming glitch on Election Day in Westchester County that saw voting machines unable to scan paper ballots. The race was already ensnared in controversy when Skipper was handcuffed and detained by cops after a restroom brawl with Nolan’s mother at a candidates’ forum in Yonkers last month. “Following a massive countywide voting machine shutdown on Election Day, I have serious concerns about what took place, and the timing of these failures raises questions that demand answers,” Nolan said in a statement after ballots were counted

Mamdani distances himself from DSA’s wildest platforms during rapid-fire Fox News questioning

Mayor Zohran Mamdani once again distanced himself from some of the wildest policies espoused by leaders of the Democratic Socialists of America . Hizzoner downplayed the possibility of him getting booted out of the lefty group while claiming there’s mainstream public support to abolish Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). “The thing that has been offered as a part of a litany of policy platforms that I would reject is, after last night, why would we abolish the Senate?” Mamdani told “Fox News Sunday” in a pre-taped interview. “I think what we’re seeing is that Americans across this country are facing a cost-of-living crisis,” he added. “Americans are tired of waiting. They are tired of being told that their needs are unrealistic by the very politicians who have been bought by the wealthiest people in the country.” New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani once again distanced himself from key tenets of the DSA platform.
