Right now, the top priorities for my administration and the employees here in Rockland County Government are getting more vaccine from New York State for residents, helping folks get appointments to be vaccinated, and getting shots into arms however we can. That said, we are still working to accomplish the other goals I set out when first taking office.

After 48 years in business in the same location, Jim Skelley has closed Nyack Bike Outfitters, a mainstay of the cycling community on N. Broadway in Nyack.
2020 was the best of times and the worst of times for Skelley. “It was really hard, especially at the beginning of the pandemic,” says the 72-year-old Skelley. “I worked 14-hour days and the next morning there was a line at the door. I was just drained.”
“He wasn’t having any fun,” chimes in his girlfriend Nina Cerfolio, a triathlete and New York City psychiatrist.
But all things considered, 2020
was a good time to say goodbye. Skelley’s business was successful this year thanks to all the bicycle demand.
