FLASH! YOU CAN CHANGE YOUR PARTY AFFILIATION BEFORE AUGUST 23 PRIMARIES BUT IT WILL NOT TAKE EFFECT (CHANGE YOUR PARTY) UNTIL AUGUST 30 IF YOU DO NOT FILE THE CHANGE BEFORE AUGUST 11. UPSHOT: CHANGING YOUR PARTY AFTER AUGUST 11 WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO VOTE IN THE DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY OR THE REPUBLICAN PRIMARY AUGUST 23.

NEW Change of Party Enrollment Info for August Primary. Primary Election: August 23 Early Voting: August 13-21
WPCNR CAMPAIGN 2022. From the League of Women Voters. August 4, 2022:
On August 3, 2022, the State Board of Elections filed a motion to the NYS Supreme Court asking for a blackout period to be instated, which would create a deadline by which someone must change their party affiliation for the August primary.

 Judge McAllister issued an order last night (Wednesday) which makes the deadline to register with a party or to change party affiliation August 11th. 

Applications must be received by a board of elections on this date. August 11.

Any application received on or after August 12th will not be effective immediately, but will become effective seven days after the August primary (August 30, 2022). 

This closes the loophole that would have allowed voters to change party affiliation by voting via affidavit ballot or a court order in the August primary.

COMMON COUNCIL PASSES SOLAR INSTALLATION REGULATIONS, ADDRESSES NEIGHBORHOOD CONCERNS. MAYOR ROACH DRAMATICALLY EMPHASIZES NEED FOR ENERGY SHIFT FROM FOSSIL FUELS: “IT’S TIME TO ACT.”

WPCNR COMMON COUNCIL REPORT. By John F. Bailey. August 3, 2022:

The Common Council enacted new detailed regulations on the standards and requirements of solar panel installations capable  of generating  over 1,000 kilowatts of electricity Monday evening unanimously. Key aspects of the legislation reflected concerns of the Havilands Manor neighborhood which objected to the installation of canopy-placed solar panels at the 1133 Westchester Avenue site.

(In a related development, the public hearing on the 1133 Westchester site was postponed, as 1133 was revising its site plan.)

Highlights were requiring green plantings to shield solar canopies/ installations from views of neighborhoods while preserving the environmental integrity of the existing adjacent properties. A second protection for the future was the fate of solar installations should the existing owners of properties go bankrupt or sell the property.

Mayor Thomas Roach in a 15 minute commentary on the legislation expressed dismay at the evidence of global warning effects this summer.

Mayor Thomas Roach at the conclusion of Monday Common Council Meeting on the need to act on limiting fossil fuels by encouraging and switching to green sources of power.

Common Council President Nadine Hunt-Robinson comments on what the new solar panel ordinance achieves.
