Sara Goddard on arbitraging electric prices

Listen as Rye Council member and Sustainable Westchester Co-Chair Sara Goddard “explains” how ratepayers can arbitrage electricity prices between @ConEdison and Westchester Power. This is flatly untrue — and she knows this 🙄 https://talkofthesound.com/2024/05/03/new-york-state-investigating-sustainable-westchester-for-defective-contracts-with-new-rochelle-rye/

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. https://talkofthesound.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/NewRochelleFlagPolicy-DRAFT1.pdf

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