Chronicle Year in Review: Our scoops and exclusive stories keep villagers informed.
This is the 317th post in the Chronicle since we began publishing about 14 months ago. Many stories were scoops or exclusives published nowhere else.
If we listed every scoop and exclusive story the Chronicle has published since October 2023, when we first launched, it would go on for “pages.” So we will just link to a modest selection of stories published over the past several months, reporting on topics that readers would probably know little or nothing about if they did not read the Chronicle.
If you are not already a subscriber, please consider taking out a sub. About 3/4 of our stories are free, and you don’t have to pay if you don’t want to.
But to really support independent journalism in Croton, and if you have not already done so, please consider taking out a paid sub or upgrading your free subscription to paying status. It’s only $5/month or $50/year.
Here then, a small sampling of our scoops and exclusives, just part of our effort to keep villagers well informed about what goes on around them—and what affects their lives in sometimes profound ways.
School workers say they sought compromise with the Croton-Harmon district on a new contract, but district officials forced them back into mediation.
Two supposedly “buildable” village-owned lots turn out not to be so buildable after all.
Croton burglar pleads guilty to multiple charges. As part of a plea deal, he will enter Westchester County's Mental Health Court.
Developers plan 49 units and three stories at 425 South Riverside Avenue, across from the ShopRite parking lot. About 10% would be some form of "affordable" housing.
Oct 7 threat against Temple Israel turns up no explosive devices after building search.
A conversation with Rabbi Jennifer Jaech of Temple Israel about October 7, Israel, Gaza, Hamas, and the chances for peace.
Caddies win (most) of the latest round in their lawsuit against Hudson National Golf Club for alleged labor law violations.
Fair housing lawsuit against Half Moon Bay HOA, management, and a HMB resident heads towards a settlement.
As children, teachers, and staff swelter in rooms lacking air conditioning, the school district has delayed installing AC for many years--even after it got money to do so.
It should go without saying that every one of the above stories is important to our village and that informed Crotonites should want to know about them, or already do if they are subscribers to the Chronicle. If you are a paid subscriber, you need do nothing more—other than share this publication with friends and neighbors or give them a gift subscription.
If you are not already a subscriber, you really should be if you want to stay informed about what goes on in the village. Reading the Chronicle is the best way, and often the only way. No brag, just fact, as a TV character used to say long ago.
