District 10 Update: August 7, 2024

Earlier this week, I was fortunate to spend some time with the County's Department of Public Works staff to review some of the fine work they do throughout Westchester and District 10. As I entered the meeting, the Deputy Commissioner was on the phone discussing preparations for this week's expected rain in light of Tropical Storm Debby. I recently connected the County's new Director of Flood Mitigation and Resiliency with our local officials to begin exploring funding opportunities for long-term flood mitigation solutions. But all signs seem to point to the likelihood that the weather will bring some flooding, starting midweek and likely culminating on Friday or Saturday, and people should start preparing for this if they haven't already. The county's Severe Weather page on Storms and Flooding can offer some guidance on how to prepare and what to do if you are effected by storms and flooding. You may also want to check out the Important Phone Numbers and Links page, as well as all of the other Severe Weather pages, and check with your local municipality web pages for their information.

For more news and updates on upcoming events, please see my weekly update below.

Sincerely,
Judah Holstein
Legislator, 10th District

Queridos amigos y vecinos,

A principios de esta semana, tuve la suerte de pasar un tiempo con el personal del Departamento de Obras Públicas del Condado para revisar algunos de los excelentes trabajos que realizan en todo Westchester y el Distrito 10. Al entrar a la reunión, el Subcomisionado estaba al teléfono discutiendo las preparaciones para la lluvia esperada esta semana a la luz de la Tormenta Tropical Debby. Recientemente, conecté al nuevo Director de Mitigación de Inundaciones y Resiliencia del Condado con nuestros funcionarios locales para comenzar a explorar oportunidades de financiamiento para soluciones de mitigación de inundaciones a largo plazo. Pero todos los indicios parecen apuntar a la probabilidad de que el clima traiga algunas inundaciones, comenzando a mediados de semana y probablemente culminando el viernes o sábado, y las personas deberían comenzar a prepararse para esto si no lo han hecho ya. La página de Clima Severo del condado sobre Tormentas e Inundaciones puede ofrecer algunas pautas sobre cómo prepararse y qué hacer si se ven afectados por tormentas e inundaciones. También puede consultar la página de Números de Teléfono y Enlaces Importantes, así como todas las demás páginas de Clima Severo, y verificar las páginas web de su municipio local para obtener su información.

Atentamente,

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...
