Today's riddle: Why did the burglar wear blue gloves? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Judge dismisses Garden City's lawsuit over casino zoning (newsday.com) — A state judge has thrown out Garden City's lawsuit challenging the casino-friendly rezoning of the Nassau Hub in nearby Uniondale, ruling the village lacked standing and its claimed harms were too speculative. Village officials, who fear increased traffic and strain on local services if a casino or similar project proceeds, say they are reviewing options while maintaining strong opposition to any casino development at the Coliseum site.
• Century-Old Curtiss Oriole Returns to Its Garden City Birthplace (vintageaviationnews.com) — A rare century-old Curtiss Oriole aircraft, originally built in Garden City, has arrived at the Cradle of Aviation Museum to be fully restored and permanently displayed. Curators expect a four- to five-year restoration, after which the plane will hang prominently near a historic Long Island aviation mural, highlighting the village's deep role in early flight history.
• New York congressmembers, LGBTQ groups denounce Mount Sinai settlement with DOJ (gaycitynews.com) — Local readers may note Garden City referenced as the site of a federal training center where Attorney General Todd Blanche appeared while announcing a controversial settlement restricting youth gender-affirming care at Mount Sinai. New York LGBTQ groups and Democratic lawmakers say the Trump administration's deal violates state protections and abandons transgender youth who rely on this care.
