Requesting meeting with Verizon and cell providers regarding horrible cell service around Greenburgh

Cell service is horrible in much of Greenburgh --very widespread. See an earlier post on the town website with almost 100 complaints from residents --from different neighborhoods. Today, while driving around Hartsdale and Edgemont, I experienced a few disrupted calls in the middle of important conversations. Residents have complained about poor reception, having difficulty making calls from inside their homes. Most of the complaints are with Verizon. Residents have reported that service has deteriorated even in locations where they previously were reliable.

A New Jersey shopper walked into Walmart and found the clothing aisles blocked off because selling them that day is illegal

Most Walmart stores sell just about everything seven days a week, but one corner of New Jersey still plays by rules written for a very different era. TikTok user @joselwees found that out on a Sunday trip to Walmart in Bergen County, where the clothing section was closed off to shoppers. His short video about it has drawn hundreds of thousands of views. In the clip, the creator explained that he is new to New Jersey and had no idea about the rule. He told viewers that in Bergen County it is illegal to sell clothes on a Sunday, so at Walmart, “they basically close off all the clothes.” The footage pans across racks of coats and other clothing that shoppers could see but could not buy that day. The creator ended the video by asking his followers for an explanation, saying “I need answers.” His caption was shorter and more pointed, calling the situation “petty,” while the on-screen text simply asked what was going on in Bergen County. The answer, as several commenters quickly explained, is a set of blue laws that has survived in the county for decades. Bergen County’s blue laws still ban Sunday clothing sales Bergen

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
