State rehires promised for 4657 fired workers
The cancellation of a statewide strike led to a state promise to rehire all 4,657 permanent workers fired by the economy driven legislature. About 1,080 jobs in Grange County faced potential loss with details pending, as unions and state officials negotiate how many will return by August 1. While some praise the accord, others call it insufficient, stressing ongoing staffing and budget constraints.

Port Jervis mayoral bid fueled by park funds claim
Conservative candidate Russell X. Lahey charged that city funds were squandered on a temporary park at the Main and Pike Streets site until a one story office building moved in. He estimated about $8,000 spent last year for landscaping and walkways. Oscar Wein of the chamber of commerce called the claim hogwash and noted the site was to remove an eyesore and that the chamber donated unused benches. Homer, owner Irving Homer, defended the plan as a chamber beautification project.
