WPCNR CAMPAIGN 2022. From the League of Women Voters. March 31, 2022 UPDATED 9 PM EDT:
On the day when WPCNR was visited by a canvasser collecting petition signatures for the New York State primaries, the New York Supreme Court in Steuben County has rejected the New York State reorganization of voting districts now in effect as unconstitutional, the League of Women Voters reported today.
This just in 9 PM
Governor Kathy Hochul and Attorney General Letitia James issued the following joint statement in response to the New York Supreme Court’s rejection of the state’s current redistricting plans:
“We intend to appeal this decision.”
The suit was filed in Steuben County (district in orange on map above) according to News 10 by 14 Steuben County residents who claimed the districts were politically motivated because 4 Republican seats were “knocked out.”
You may read the complete decision and background here:
The League of Women Voters in Westchester wrote WPCNR:
In 2014, with the support of the League of Women Voters of New York State, voters approved the establishment of an Independent Redistricting Commission (IRC) to draw new district lines free from partisan bias.
A New York State Supreme Court judge’s decision today invalidated the new Congressional, State Senate and State Assembly lines adopted by the Legislature on its own initiative.
The Court found that the Legislature had failed to follow the Constitutional process approved by voters, and that the Congressional lines also violated the new anti-gerrymandering provisions of the Constitution.
The Court ordered the Legislature to submit new maps, with bipartisan support, by April 11, 2022, or the Court will retain a neutral expert to prepare new maps.
The Court’s decision, if upheld on appeal, unsettles the 2022 election process.
That unfortunate outcome is solely the responsibility of the state Legislature for ignoring the 2014 Constitutional amendment and the will of the voters.
The League calls on the Legislature to promptly adopt redistricting lines with bipartisan support that comply with the Constitutional standards.
The League of Women Voters of Westchester will continue to update all as information becomes available.

WP POLICE WARM OF DISTRACTION “LARCENIES” ON CENTRAL AVENUE
Hits: 790
WPCNR POLICE GAZETTE. From the White Plains Department of Public Safety. March 31, 2022:
Several distraction type larcenies have recently been reported in neighboring jurisdictions along Central Avenue. Perpetrators are targeting female motorists. Acting as “good Samaritans” they are alerting victims to possible problems with their cars such as a missing lug nut or low tire pressure. As they “assist” the victim with the issue that they themselves created, accomplices are removing valuables from the interior of the car. If you are approached by anyone regarding the safety of your vehicle, mind this information, safeguard your valuables and notify police if you feel there is something amiss.

STEAM PROJECT FACILITATORS AT WHITE PLAINS LIBRAY
Hits: 554
The White Plains Public Library is looking for Program Facilitators to develop and lead interactive STEAM/maker projects for teenagers in the White Plains area. Programs will be held inside the Library or outside on the Library Plaza, Monday – Thursdays, from 1:00-4:00 pm, throughout July and August.
Each facilitator will plan and develop four projects (one each day Monday-Thursday) focusing on STEAM skills for students in grades 6-10. We are open to all ideas: Are you an artist and wish to share your talents? Do you have DIY skills and work on maker projects? Perhaps you have knowledge of environmentally friendly practices that could be turned into learning experiences? Are you an engineering student that can help educate students and bring engineering concepts to life? These are just some examples of the kinds of facilitators we are looking for.
These projects can be simple or complex. They can also be in the form of a challenge. Projects can be built by hand or completed on computers. If hired, you will work with Library staff to bring the projects to life. Be prepared to discuss project ideas, as well as supplies or materials needed to make your project(s) happen during the interview process. (Note: If any software applications are being used they should be free or open source.) You can apply to teach more than one program. Salary will be based on experience.
