Philly fans.....big suprise here. Where are the police??

It already started when the Black Panthers blocked polling places in Pennsylvania. We are going to need the Militia to fight Obama's "civilian security force." It will come down to us. Fear the government that fears your gun!

Chris, I know that I've read that somewhere about SCPD. I know Suffolk Sheriff has countywide jursidiction. I'll see if I can find it.

Nassau and Suffolk voted to form the County PDs. The tax for those covered by NCPD or SCPD is known as a "Police District" tax and the rest of the county pays police taxes. Suffolk PD does not have jurisidiction on the East End.

Is the tower now in reserve?

The best is being at the bar when the time changes. Extra hour of drinking.

THANK YOU! At least there is someone else with sense.....WHO GIVES A **** ABOUT HIM ANYMORE????? I can blame him and the Dolans for the next increase in Cablevision rates. Why is this even news?

That is not the only roadblock......HOME RULE. I don't believe that law allows for a County-wide Police, Fire or EMS department. Remember, Suffolk and Nassau have police DISTRICTS, just like a Fire or EMS district. The residents of Suffolk and Nassau who are covered by SCPD pay a police district tax. Residents who are not in the district pay for the county police just we do here in Westchester, as part of overall county taxes. Remember that Georgia, for example, does not have incorporated areas outside of cities. The county police/fire/ems cover the area outside of cities, which would be equivalent to towns in NYS. There would have to be a special referendum to approve such a "group," as you put it.

I know Northport VA, Commack and LI MacArthur Airport have some career staff. I believe there are one or two more.

Just like the County Government.

I still have Nextel, rarely use the DC anymore. Nobody has them anymore. I loved it though.

They have had alot of trouble over there in Hoboken and Jersey City over the years with water main breaks. United Water is the utility the provides operations, but both cities retain ownership of the systems. Jersey City has its own reservoirs, and Hoboken also uses that supply. I believe that 30" main is a transmission main, running into Hoboken.

All land in New York State is part of a town, city or indian reservation. Villages must be within towns, unless they are coterminus town/villages, like Harrison, Scarsdale and Mount Kisco. A village can cross town lines. A city has no relationship to the town it may be "within," with the City of Beacon as an example. Some towns have unincorporated areas (not part of a village), for which the town would provide services. Hamlets have no legal (in NYS) stature. They are generally a post office or CDP, but really just neighborhoods. Edgemont (Greenburgh) is an example. Pelham and Rye are two towns that do not have any unincorporated areas. Pelham and Pelham Manor are the villages in Pelham town, and Port Chester, Rye Brook and the Rye Neck section of Mamaroneck are the villages in Rye town. Villages and cities have mayors, and towns have supervisors. There is a limit to small claims cases in town/village courts and cities. I believe its $15,000 in cities and $3,000 in towns/villages.

This is more then a crisis, this is a crash. Neither of the two candidates have any clue or financial knowlege. This is why senators make bad presidents. At least governors have some background in budgets. McCain is a bumbling old idiot and Obama thinks social welfare is the way out. Neither of them are "outsiders." McCain has been in Washington since before the wheel and Obama is hardly the "common man." I am a registered Republican. People thought I was crazy why I said Mitt Romney was the best candidate.

Which is a shame because the annual service can acutally save money on the oil bill. At least crude is below $88/bbl. It's going to be tough for those who have fixed-price contracts puchased over the summer for $4.50+.

They do 911 for New Rochelle.

It must be nice being Willie Randolph. He gets to slide into second base during his introduction at the final game at the Stadium. All the while, he's getting paid by the New York Mets. And people wonder why there were/are Met fans who never liked him from day one.

Is Rescue 29 still in service or did this new truck replace it?

While on the topic of FAJ, did Scarsdale get a new truck and I missed it in there?

I thought 176 was the spare Engine. What am I missing?

CNN was reporting 911 calls of people who stayed and are trapped in their homes.

I saw their transport van in Pelham today. Other than prisioner transport, what else do they do? Can't find anything about them online.

are those LEDs or strobes?

How exactly do you crossfile? I thought you had to file the applications and then send Westchester County HR a letter telling them that you did and where you want to take the test?

Looks as if the water gets a bit colder or there is some upper level wind sheer as the storm gets closer to land.
