Dear USA,
Happy Independence Day from Ireland.

READ IT HERE FIRST: New Rochelle DRAFT of Flag Policy
The New Rochelle DRAFT of Flag Policy (linked) is now public, and will be discussed at 4/9/24 City Council Meeting.
After the controversy over the Israeli flag, it was agreed to shift authority from the City Manager to City Council.
Notably, the proposed policy allows for displaying foreign flags ON or ABOVE City-owned buildings and property which Shane, the NewRo folks and other Yadira and David Peters supporters said was illegal (the ON buildings part). Shane also said he opposed display of ANY foreign flag. So, it will be interesting to see how this plays out.
Also, Mayor is granted certain authority on lowering the U.S. flag to half-mast.

David Peters says there is no hostility towards Israel and Israeli flag but his supporters say otherwise.

All good questions from @DenisePWard about Sara Kaye who has illegally withheld city emails, used appeals to lawyers to stonewall record production, hid city emails on her personal Gmail account and was up to things I find exceedingly strange with her husband’s work email address.
David Kaye, a partner at @RopesGray, leads his law firm’s initiative in Environmental, Social, & Governance which correlates to the now nullified Sustainable Westchester contracts involving Sara Kaye and Noam Bramson.
The IT department identified 250 emails to/from @RopesGray but the City has yet to produce them.
Having been “convicted” of multiple ethics violations there is no reason to give the morally flexible councilwoman the benefit of the doubt on emails involving she and her husband.
Here is a very strange dude with very strange ideas on ethics and the SUSTAINED charges against Noam Bramson and Sara Kaye.
"Whatever things Mr. Cox digs up to harass us with are not helpful to the City, they're harmful."
Only a kook or crook would claim it is HARMFUL to expose unethical and illegal conduct by city officials.

Last scheduled stop: Barcelona v Deporto Alaves at estadi olímpic.
Crazy atmosphere!
Making the most of our mini-break to Barcelona. It is sunny and warm here on the beach. Here are a few other snaps: La Rambla, Paula de la Musica Catalan (Flamenco singer José Mercé), scary cable car ride at Montserrat and chapel behind venerated Black Madonna at Montserrat.
Jamaal Bowman lied.
Congressman Jamaal Bowman released the following statement 9/30/23:
I want to personally clear up confusion surrounding today’s events. Today, as I was rushing to make a vote, I came to a door that is usually open for votes but today would not open. I am embarrassed to admit that I activated the fire alarm, mistakenly thinking it would open the door. I regret this and sincerely apologize for any confusion this caused.
But I want to be very clear, this was not me, in any way, trying to delay any vote. It was the exact opposite -- I was trying urgently to get to a vote, which I ultimately did and joined my colleagues in a bipartisan effort to keep our government open. I also met after the vote with the Sergeant at Arms and the Capitol Police, at their request, and explained what had happened. My hope is that no one will make more of this than it was. I am working hard every day, including today, to do my job, to do it well, and deliver for my constituents.
Peace and Love.
Crazy Driver in New Rochelle. Encountered this cuckoo last month on my way to cover case in Yonkers. 🙄
