For those of you still debating the “girls in the tunnels” issue — I had and still have zero tolerance for cretins who turned the issue into an opportunity for hate speech. Here’s a Facebook post from a week ago.

Thank you @GovKathyHochul for Rockland County’s 68% increase in child care funding, the second highest allocation increase of any county in NYS. Happy to have been a small part in getting this done for Rockland families. Let’s go!

[Joe Rand @JosephRand]

I also want to say how happy I am that no one was hurt. We were lucky.

And just to remind everyone: please don’t go into the culvert at Memorial Park!

Some adventure today in downtown Nyack.

Key takeaway: first responders did a great job responding to a potentially dangerous situation, and no one was seriously hurt.

Here’s what happened (from what I’ve gathered talking to the people involved):

So I just want to say how grateful I am to the Orangetown Police Department, Nyack Fire Department, the Nyack Community Ambulance Corps, Chaverim of Rockland, and Rockland Hatzalah. I thank them for their fast action and for working together so well.

I am delighted to announce that I’ve received the "Candidates Who Care" endorsement of Caring Majority Rising, a statewide organization of home care workers, older and disabled New Yorkers, and family caregivers fighting to build a just and sustainable care economy in our state

So I was delighted to have an opportunity to meet with so many dedicated, smart business owners in our community at such a well-run and well-attended event, and I'm grateful for the warm and welcoming reception I received.

I was happy to visit the Satmark Business Expo at RCC this past Wednesday, featuring a huge number of booths showcasing businesses throughout the region that provide services in media, finance, healthcare, technology, retail, marketing, and countless other industries.

As I've said many times, I want to be a "Senator for All" in every Rockland Community, and I am proud of the relationships I'm building in the Orthodox and Hasidic communities in Ramapo.

NEW: Peter Chatzky and John Sullivan endorse Beth Davidson in the NY-17 Democratic primary.

So happy to announce the Nyack recipients of the $4.5M New York Forward Grant that we won last year, and which is going to help take Nyack to an even higher level. Congratulations to all the recipients!

Disturbing to hear about the antisemitic incident at Nyack High School. I’m glad to hear that the district has taken the vandalism seriously, and that the Clarkstown Police are investigating. Anti-semitism has no place in our society or classrooms.

It’s heartening to see the vision that animates this inspiring new proposal for a transformational municipal plaza for the Village of Spring Valley. Congrats to the leadership of the Village for taking big swings.
