A shooting over the weekend at a home on a usually quiet cul-de-sac in Clarkstown has the supervisor looking to beef up the town’s rules regarding rental properties. The house at the center of the incident on Turnberry Court in New City sold just last month and was, police say, being used as a rental property. Orangetown supervisor Teresa Kenny says in Orangetown they have a landlord rental registry, but no restriction on Air B&Bs. Kenny says she’d rather not put too many restrictions on homeowners…
Clarkstown’s supervisor says homeowners have to join a registry in order to rent their homes out. In Stony Point, supervisor Jim Monaghan says they had trouble with a few homes last year, but they changed their laws to ban short-term rentals, and instead rentals now have to be a minimum of 30 days…
Ann Zeilingold is Vice President of FM Home Loans in New City, and says while she owns two properties and rents them as Air B&Bs, she’s glad she’s not living next door to one, but she doesn’t think municipalities should overreact…
Four Brooklyn men and a juvenile were arrested early Saturday afternoon in New City after multiple gunshots were fired. There were no injuries. If you have information or video of the incident, Clarkstown Police ask you to contact them at 845-639-5840.

New maps have been adopted by New York’s legislature that would re-draw congressional and state election districts. Under the new proposal, Rockland’s Congressman Mondaire Jones, who currently covers all of the county and part of Westchester, would add all of Sullivan and parts of southern Orange County to his district. Western Ramapo and Orange County State Assemblyman Republican Karl Brabenec’s district would grow in Rockland…
Stony Point and Orange County State Assemblyman Republican Colin Schmitt last month on “The Morning Show” predicted the process would be partisan, and didn’t think it should have ever come to this…
Rockland Assemblyman Democrat Ken Zebrowski also would have preferred the bi-partisan independent commission come up with maps that were more agreeable, and these delays haven’t been helpful to the process…
The new state districts need the governor’s signature, but she signed off late last night on the congressional districts, which according to the Associated Press give Democrats a heavy political advantage over Republicans, a move criticized by non-partisan groups. Republicans reportedly filed a lawsuit in an upstate Supreme Court challenging the congressional maps late yesterday.
