Three Arrested After Chase on PIP in Orangetown
An attempted traffic stop on the Palisades Parkway earlier this week turned into a chase and three people arrested, including an Orangetown man. New York State Police say Tuesday afternoon around 2:30 they tried to stop a sedan in Orangetown, but the driver failed to comply and fled the scene. The driver crashed failing to negotiate a turn off exit 6 and crashed. Troopers took the driver and two passengers into custody and found multiple credit cards and checks that were in the names of other people. The driver, Abdul Perry of Brooklyn was arrested, along with two passengers, 33 year-old James McMillan of Orangetown and 38 year-old Willie McLeod of Newburgh. They all face several charges including Criminal Possession of Stolen Property. Perry and McMillan were arraigned and released pending future court dates, while McLeod was sent to the Rockland County Jail. The investigation is ongoing and additional charges are pending. There were no injuries reported.
WRCR Market Analyst to President: Leave Powell Alone
Renewing a threat from his first term, president Trump said he could fire Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell for not cutting interest rates, if he wanted to. That’s according to the Associated Press, which said Thursday the threat runs counter to the Central bank’s long-standing political independence. WRCR’s chief market analyst Ken Mahoney of Mahoney Asset Management says the president should leave Powell alone…
The Dow Jones tumbled again yesterday for the third straight day of losses. Despite expressing the desire to fire him, president Trump reportedly can’t fire Powell, whose term as Fed chair ends in May 2026. Powell was first nominated by then-president Trump in 2017 and then appointed to another four-year term by then-President Joe Biden in 2022.
