The following indictments were passed down by a Rockland Grand Jury this past December, with District Attorney Thomas P. Zugibe presiding:

Schrader threatened two people with a knife and kicked out the window of a police vehicle in Pearl River on Dec., Zugibe said.

On or about June 2010 through June 2012, Parker re-certified for housing assistance and falsely reported the household income, Zugibe said.

Aerial of United Water's proposed water treatment plant location

This issue is not whether Rockland County will need more water in the future which it may nor is itRead More the fact that Hudson River water can be made drinkable which it can. The primary issue is the company that wants to run the project. United Water has been a lousy corporate neighbor to West Nyack allowing old homes to deteriorate then tearing them down and doing nothing to stop the flooding south of the reservoir. If we allow them to construct the Haverstraw project they will do nothing to protect the area and if anything goes wrong they will blame someone else. When United Water starts to take responsibility for its actions and manages their facilities so as to have a minimal impact on the community then maybe they should be allowed to build Haverstraw but don't count on it.

Untrue. Perhaps if United Water wasn't sending over 2 million gallons a day from Deforest Lake toRead More they're customers in Bergen County we would not have this shortage. Hydrologists have shown that there is enough water regularly collected in Rockland's reservoirs and aquifers for our current and growing needs. Many of the "facts" that United Water is putting forward are outdated, and are based on they're own mismanagement of our water basin. Lets remember that United Water has repeatedly been removed as a water provider of major cities throughout this country (6+ last time I checked, notably even from Camden NJ) for mismanagement of water resources. I think its a prudent choice to look into a plant that we will be stuck paying for for the next 4 years from a company that has repeatedly lied and provided water with toxin levels high above legal limits to they're customers. Better safe than sorry.

Rockland has grown to the point that it needs more water. Terminating the flow of a river and takingRead More the water resources away from other communities (stealing what we need) isn't going to happen.

Is that what it was.....I thought it was the cicada's
Kevin Zawacki (Editor) June 3, 2013 at 10:43 am
Is it related to Tappan Zee Bridge construction?

The cicadas were really loud today. Bugs just want to have fun!
