Today's riddle: What is full of holes but still holds water? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. What Brooklyn Democrats' Power Fight Could Mean (patch.com) — Brooklyn Democrats are locked in a power struggle over who will control the borough's party machinery, after reform-backed district leaders appeared to win a majority of executive committee seats in June. Current party chair Rodneyse Bichotte Hermelyn, who represents Flatbush, Little Haiti and South Midwood, is pushing to expand the voting body beyond 42 district leaders, a move reformers say could dilute their new influence before a leadership vote this fall.
2. Gov. Hochul Announces $6.2 Million for Healthcare, Community Facility Improvements in Brooklyn (bkreader.com) — State leaders have committed $6.2 million to upgrade healthcare and community facilities serving Brooklyn residents, including StartCare and NYCHA's Breukelen Houses Community Center. Announced during a back-to-school event in Canarsie Park, the funding will expand primary care and behavioral health services and modernize community space for East New York and Canarsie families.
3. Woman stabs two teen girls, slashes third in Brooklyn Dollar Tree (dailynews.com) — Three teenage girls were stabbed or slashed during an argument inside a Dollar Tree on Van Siclen Ave. in East New York, Brooklyn, with two hospitalized in stable condition.
