25 Famous People You Didn’t Know Were From Sullivan County, New York

This one was interesting for me to write because when I was 17, I went to Sullivan Community College. It was basically the only college that would accept me. I wasn’t that great as a student in high school, but that’s because I wanted to be a musician, and I spent all my time practicing piano. It wasn’t because I was lazy; I just found what I wanted to do with my life, and I did that for a good 30 years.

Honesdale council approves contract for property code enforcement

After a gap in having a regular property code enforcement officer, Honesdale Borough Council on Oct. 26 approved entering into a contract with Northeast Inspection Consultants (NEIC) to conduct this service. The vote was 6-0; Councilor James Brennan was absent. In June, the council contracted with NEIC for zoning and property maintenance and building code enforcement, but due to an oversight did not include a code enforcement officer, said Councilor James Hamill, who chairs the Zoning and Code Enforcement Committee. He said he stepped into this committee role a couple months ago. The committee and borough staff have been very active in addressing needs and fielding complaints and concerns from the public, Hamill said. “I’m really starting to understand what the highest priority needs are in the community. Chief among them is code enforcement. Finally, tonight after some persistence we are getting code enforcement. That is huge for a volume of issues; there are a lot of people in need of making sure that the codes that are on the books are enforced,” Hamill said. Amanda Gravine, deputy open records officer, told the Tri-County Independent that since July, NEIC has been helping the borough with code enforcement when asked, although

Wrightson declares victory in 40th District as results show him ahead

Political newcomer Brian Wrightson, a Democrat, declared victory in the 40th District on Nov. 3 over longtime Republican lawmaker Sen. Rosemary Brown. Unofficial returns showed Wrightson with about 51.4% of the vote the morning of Nov. 4, according to the Pennsylvania Department of State. He was up 50,072 votes to 47,283, with provisional ballots not yet counted. "I want to express my deepest gratitude to all the voters in Northeastern Pennsylvania for placing their trust in me. I don’t take that responsibility lightly," Wrightson said in an emailed statement. "As a small business owner, you know I’m not a politician, but I’m ready to go to Harrisburg and do what I know best: fix things." Wrightson, who is from Archbald, Lackawanna County, was born in 1969 and raised in Jessup. His campaign website says that he grew up in a working-class family and became the first person in his family to earn a college degree. Brown was elected to the Senate in 2022 after serving six terms in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives. The 40th District includes parts of Wayne and Lackawanna and all of Monroe counties.
