District 10 Update: March 28, 2024

While Saturday's flooding wasn't as severe as what we faced last September, it brought significant challenges to areas like Primrose Rd in New Rochelle, highlighting ongoing issues with flooding in our district. Only a few seconds of my interview were aired on News 12, so I wanted to share some additional details. Through collaboration with State. County, and local authorities, together with funds from the Infrastructure Bill and Environmental Bond Act, we are moving the needle on addressing our flooding problems as quickly as possible. Crews from New Rochelle, Eastchester, and Scarsdale already started clearing debris from area storm drains, culverts, and streams. New Rochelle recently outlined their 10 year Stormwater Mitigation Plan addressing over 170 specific areas, and more recently outlined specific areas (including Grand Blvd) where work will start this spring in the Public Works section of the City Manager's 2024 Work Plan.

However, addressing this issue isn't just about government action; it's about community involvement too. Efforts to clear debris from sewers and improve water flow are crucial, yet easily undermined by improper waste disposal. Whether it's litter, construction debris, or yard waste that makes its way into the storm drains, these actions exacerbate flooding risks for all of us.

I encourage each of you to play an active role in keeping our community safe and clean. By ensuring that only water goes down our storm drains and taking a moment to pick up litter, we contribute to a larger solution. If you witness harmful practices, please speak up or report them. Your actions make a difference, not just for your own home but for our entire community.

As we navigate these challenges, let's also embrace the spirit of the season. Whether celebrating Purim or preparing for Easter, let's remember the strength and resilience of our community.

Together, we can overcome the obstacles we face and work towards a safer, cleaner Westchester County. Your engagement and feedback are vital to our collective success.

Queridos amigos y vecinos,

Aunque las inundaciones del sábado no fueron tan graves como las que enfrentamos en septiembre pasado, trajeron desafíos significativos a áreas como Primrose Rd en New Rochelle, destacando problemas continuos con las inundaciones en nuestro distrito. Solo unos segundos de mi entrevista fueron transmitidos en News 12, así que quería compartir algunos detalles adicionales. A través de la colaboración con las autoridades estatales, del condado y locales, junto con fondos del Proyecto de Infraestructura y la Ley de Bonos Ambientales, estamos avanzando en la resolución de nuestros problemas de inundaciones lo más rápido posible. Los equipos de New Rochelle, Eastchester y Scarsdale ya comenzaron a limpiar escombros de desagües pluviales, alcantarillas y arroyos de la zona. New Rochelle recientemente delineó su Plan de Mitigación de Agua de Lluvia de 10 años que aborda más de 170 áreas específicas, y más recientemente delineó áreas específicas (incluido Grand Blvd) donde comenzarán los trabajos esta primavera en la sección de Obras Públicas del Plan de Trabajo 2024 del Administrador de la Ciudad.

Sin embargo, abordar este problema no se trata solo de la acción gubernamental; también se trata de la participación comunitaria. Los esfuerzos para limpiar los desagües pluviales y mejorar el flujo de agua son cruciales, pero fácilmente socavados por una eliminación inadecuada de desechos. Ya sea basura, escombros de construcción o desechos de jardín que lleguen a los desagües pluviales, estas acciones agravan los riesgos de inundaciones para todos nosotros.

Les animo a cada uno de ustedes a desempeñar un papel activo en mantener nuestra comunidad segura y limpia. Al asegurarnos de que solo el agua vaya por nuestros desagües pluviales y tomar un momento para recoger la basura, contribuimos a una solución más amplia. Si presencia prácticas dañinas, por favor hable o repórtelas. Sus acciones hacen la diferencia, no solo para su propio hogar sino para toda nuestra comunidad.

Easter Image

Mientras navegamos por estos desafíos, también abracemos el espíritu de la temporada. Ya sea celebrando Purim o preparándonos para Pascua, recordemos la fuerza y la resiliencia de nuestra comunidad.

Juntos, podemos superar los obstáculos que enfrentamos y trabajar hacia un condado de Westchester más seguro y limpio. Su compromiso y retroalimentación son vitales para nuestro éxito colectivo.

Atentamente,
Judah Holstein signature

District 10 Update: August 7, 2025

Please take a moment to submit your comments to the New York State Public Service Commission (PSC) and ask them to reject Con Edison's proposed electric and gas rate increases. Share how these hikes would affect you and your family. Submit your comments using the links below: Electric rate case – Case 25-E-0072 Gas rate case – Case 25-G-0073 The Westchester County Board of Legislators continues to hear from residents about the impact of Con Edison's repeated and aggressive rate hikes. Last week, the Board held a public session in Rye Brook to hear directly from the community, and next week we will announce our next hearing in Mount Kisco. While we are committed to raising these concerns locally, the final decision rests with the PSC. So far, just over 6,000 comments have been submitted on the electric case and about 4,500 on the gas case. Most appear to come from New York City. Westche...

District 10 Update: June 26, 2025

Click here to view this email in your browser  Last week, I joined a prayer vigil against hate in New Rochelle. Even in a city as diverse as New Rochelle moments like this remind us how much listening, respect, and mutual understanding still matter. We do not need to agree on everything, but we do need to care about how our words and actions affect those around us. Different communities carry different lived experiences. As an example, some turn to law enforcement any time they feel uneasy. Others hesitate because of long histories of profiling, discrimination, or being treated as outsiders. Language matters too. Words and slogans can carry pain, even if not intended. "The South will rise again" is recognized as a symbol of white supremacy and racial terror. Simila...

District 10 Update: March 28, 2025

  Government should make people's lives better and easier, not create barriers when they need help. That's why the Social Security Administration's decision to reject Westchester County's offer of county-owned space for the Hearing Office in White Plains is so disappointing. With White Plains set to close and the Newburgh office already shut down, there will soon be no Social Security Hearing Offices left in the Hudson Valley. People who need to resolve important issues -- like disability claims or benefit appeals -- will have to travel long distances just to be heard. Westchester County offered a simple, local solution, but instead of working with us, the federal government chose to walk away. I started the week joining community leaders and advoc...
