• Watch: Serious Injuries Highlight Dangers of E-Scooters (collive.com) — Recent serious e-scooter crashes in Monsey are prompting urgent warnings to local parents about letting children ride, especially on rough streets and at night.

• Rockland County Executive Ed Day Signs Sweeping Consumer Protection Overhaul Into Law (monseyscoop.com) — Rockland County has just overhauled its consumer protection and home improvement laws, changes that will affect how Monsey homeowners and contractors get licensed and manage projects. The new rules streamline licensing, drop vehicle decal requirements, and create a “Manager” category so homeowners can directly hire subcontractors while keeping oversight in place. Supporters say it cuts red tape while preserving key safeguards.
