The City of Newburgh held a public hearing Monday night to present its draft report on police reform. It’s part of New York Governor Andrew Cuomo’s executive order requiring local police agencies to modernize their strategies and programs based on community input. After listening to public input, councilmembers weighed in with their thoughts.
First, there was a lot of discussion about a portion of the city’s adopted Right to Know law, under which information on community members was being collected via field activity sheets. Newburgh City Manager Joe Donat announced at the start of the public hearing that the measure was shelved.

Democratic New York Congressman Sean Patrick Maloney joined environmentalists and local lawmakers on the banks of the Hudson River Monday to celebrate his resolution that further protects the lower portion of the waterway.
Congressman Maloney, of the 18th District, was at Plum Point in New Windsor. He says his legislation to permanently ban oil barge anchorages from Yonkers to Kingston is now law.
“Of all the things that I’ve been able to do working in partnership with others in Congress, I think this is perhaps one that makes me most proud,” Maloney says. “This is a lasting achievement that will mean so much, not just today or tomorrow, but for generations to come.”
