The Ramapo Police Department Investigations Division is on the hunt for those responsible for yesterday morning’s swatting incident at Suffern High School.

Tolls to Rise on NYS Thruway and TZ Bridge

by

Get ready to pay more in tolls if you travel over the Tappan Zee Bridge or the Thruway. Increases were approved Monday by the Thruway’s Board of Directors. 99th district Assemblyman Chris Eachus, who covers Stony Point and portions of Orange County, says the increases could be self-defeating…

The Tappan Zee Bridge, the Thruway’s main cash-cow, will see 50-cent hikes each year starting in January 2024 through 2027, when the toll will reach $7.75 for passenger cars using E-ZPass. By 2027, “Tolls by Mail” motorists would pay $13.56, up from the current $7.48. Rockland and Westchester residents would get a 20 percent discount, up from the current 17 percent. Across the rest of the Thruway, tolls will go up five percent in January. Officials said the hikes are necessary to fund much-needed upgrades. Around 600 of the Thruway’s 815 bridges are over 60 years old.

11 Years and Stony Point’s Eugene Palmer Still Evades Capture Following Murder of Daughter-in-Law

by

Sunday marks 11 years since a Stony Point man allegedly killed his daughter-in-law and disappeared, and to this day still has not been found. On September 24th, 2012, the then 73-year-old Eugene Palmer allegedly fatally killed his daughter-in-law, Tammy. As Rockland Sheriff Lou Falco recently told “The Morning Show,” police agencies still get tips from the public from time to time…

Eugene Palmer would be 84 years-old today. The FBI still considers Palmer to be armed and dangerous. Anyone with information on Palmer’s whereabouts should call the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI.
