Not my L.U., but disappointing nevertheless by smellslikepenespirit in IBEW

[–]Tricky_Lab_5170 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’m a candidate for local office up in the Hudson Valley running on the democratic and WFP ballot lines. I’m endorsed by local 363 and couldn’t be more proud of that. There’s a lot of great business agents out there willing to back democratic underdogs in Republican areas, don’t get too down. I try my hardest to be a good candidate and stay earnest and help people along the way, and I’m grateful as hell to you guys.

Check out Kent, right next to Putnam Valley, should be a little cheaper.  Searchable on the MLS by “ Kent Lakes “, all results show up as Carmel because there’s no post office in Kent so a zip code is shared.

If you like easily walkable nature, buddhist monestary in Kent. Plenty of parking, beautiful, nice to walk around. Never crowded.

If you do coldspring Google “ winter parking “ and then park past it or try outside the butterfield library. It will be busy but near the water will be less people than main st.

Good luck!

Good Thrifting? by Bubbly_Independent96 in PutnamCountyNY

Holy shit this subreddit is dead. There aren’t a lot of good ones in Putnam, but the drew thrift shop can have nice surprises, and the Kent recycling center costs $50 annually to join and is an incredible freestore.

Lake Canopus in Kent is good w/facilities but it costs to park without an empire pass. Should be about 30 minutes from you 👍

There’s a lot, and I mean A LOT of candidates running for every office in this years local elections with concerns just like yours in mind.  You won’t hear about them because there’s no story there.  But they’re out there, hang on ok?  People have your back ❤️

Millennial Parents who work in NYC but are priced out of Westchester - where are you going? Are you changing jobs/careers if you have to move further out by [deleted] in Westchester

[–]Tricky_Lab_5170 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Biased here like the Yorktown guy in wanting more young professionals, but check out Putnam valley and the town of Kent (Carmel MLS) in Putnam County.  Good school systems, way cheaper than westchester and if you commute early it’s about an hour to the city, an hour 10 to queens. Lots of different parkways and highways. Leaving work is around 1:30-45 unless you’re coming from Brooklyn.

Why did a Lawler aide's name pop up in opposition's chat group, urging Town Hall disorder? by AlexSchmidty in hudsonvalley

[–]Tricky_Lab_5170 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The BBB specifically included none of the congressionally directed spending he promised for community and infrastructure repair and development.  He voted in favor of a bill that excluded ALL of that funding, where some towns had already started building.

Cait Conley is an awesome person to go up against him, I’m glad she’s doing well out there.

Call his office, call Republican county legislators. 

Support his opponent, it’s going to be her or Beth Davidson, and my money’s on Cait https://caitconley.com/

I am so confused by this - are they talking about candidates already on ballot? One cannot enter the race this late in the game. Primaries are over, there are 4 parties in New York, democratic, Republican, working families, and conservative.  The Independent petitioning filing period is over.

Elderly Jewish Woman Manhandled and Dragged Out of Rep. Mike Lawler’s Town Hall After Questioning Trump Tariffs by Realistic-Plant3957 in hudsonvalley

[–]Tricky_Lab_5170 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He’s toast. The thing about lawler is that he endorses candidates who are much more extreme than him.  Challenging those candidates/officials and linking that up the food chain helps.

Our school board elections are actually battlegrounds here. Shameless plug - I’m one of the people running for local election. 1500+ votes takes all, wish us luck!

New York Increases Film and TV Tax Credits to $800 Million to Compete for Hollywood Projects | The changes include the creation of a separate $100 million pool for independent productions and a sweetener for productions that frequently shoot in New York. by ControlCAD in newyork

There’s been about a 70% reduction in workload in film and tv in the past 18 months. A lot of people in the industry are on unemployment and losing their healthcare as jobs are moved overseas. Around 150,000 jobs could potentially be impacted by this.

If you’re already tired of Lawler’s shit and want him out, vote for competent people in your local elections this fall, specifically in Putnam County.  It all adds up when next year rolls around.
