• Advocates push for legislation targeting company plastic waste in New York State (cbs6albany.com) — Hoosick Falls is highlighted as one of the Capital Region communities hurt by toxic PFAS chemicals that a new statewide packaging bill aims to restrict. Advocates are pushing the Packaging Reduction and Recycling Infrastructure Act, which would make companies pay for recycling, cut single-use packaging, and tighten rules on harmful substances, while business groups warn it could raise costs and disrupt supply chains.
