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: September 13, 2024

Dear Friends and Neighbors,  This week, I attended the NYSAC conference, where my colleague Ben Boykin was installed as president. One session, "Conflict to Conversation: Must Disagreement Be Disagreeable?" left a lasting impression on me. The speaker made a powerful point: "There is no freedom of speech without a concurrent need to listen." As a country, we pride ourselves on free expression, but true progress begins when we listen. If no one is listening, our words lose value, and we go unheard and unresolved. Upon returning, I was deeply moved by the story of a front-line survivor from the October 7 tragedy, whose experience of trying to save others while fearing for her own life reminded me in some ways of the countless stories of heroism from 9/11. As I then commemorated 9/11 in Eastchester, New Rochelle, and at the Kensico Dam, I realized that our younge...

District 10 Update: August 29, 2024

Dear Friends and Neighbors,  This past weekend, I brought my youngest son back to SUNY Stony Brook University to begin his sophomore year. Like many parents, I felt the bittersweet mix of love and pride as he left the nest to venture into adulthood. This year, however, I found myself reflecting on the end of his last semester. While our son was fortunate enough not to be significantly impacted by the small but loud protests that took place at his school, some parents were not so lucky, as college students from District 10, Westchester County, and around the world were harassed, intimidated, or blocked from accessing their dorms, classrooms, and other school buildings due to disruptive actions by protestors. I deeply cherish our Constitutional First Amendment and the rights it provides for people to peacefully assemble and protest. However, it is crucial that protesters behave lawfully and not assault others (including verbal assault directed at an individual), vandalize ...

District 10 Update: September 5, 2024

Dear Friends and Neighbors,  While on vacation, I watched friends and family share photos and stories as they proudly and excitedly sent their children off to their first day of school, only to be stirred and heartbroken by the tragic and horrible school shooting in Winder, Georgia. I closely followed the news about the rescue of Qaid Farhan Alkadi , an Israeli Bedouin, which brought a glimmer of relief and hope for all of the remaining Hamas hostages in Gaza. But that hope was quickly shattered by the recovery of six Jewish Israeli hostages , including American citizen Hersh Goldberg-Polin, who served as an icon of hope in the darkness. The recent execution of these hostages by their Hamas captors is a stark reminder of the ongoing threat posed by terrorism -- not only to Israel, but to peace around the world, and even here at home. I'm grateful to our County Executive and other local officials for honoring Hersh by ordering their flags be flown at hal...
