After months of protesting Scarsdale Village's secret signing of a contract with Flock Safety for surveillance technology, the contract has been canceled. Many thanks to the over 450 Scarsdale residents who stood up against weak local governance and opacity.

Residents express mixed emotions over new proposed 'Flock Safety' partnership Elected officials and police in the village have been discussing a partnership between the organization, and hoped to pay for the system through a federally funded grant, which has since been denied.

The video seems mixed but, you have to understand how uncritically this topic has previously been reported on in local news and how no one was showing up to oppose it

Today President Trump implemented tariffs on Canada and Mexico. The cost of products will rise for you when you shop. The stock market is dropping, fast. Wall Street. Main Street. Your Street. All affected by ideological policies that are foolish and have no basis in economic reality.
