📰 News we're reading
• 5 Questions: Jamar Brown (highlandscurrent.org) — A Philipstown Behavioral Health Hub care coordinator is helping Haldane football players strengthen their mental, emotional, and academic game through a weekly Mindful Athlete program. He explains how goal-setting, time management, and executive function skills can boost both performance and grades, and describes similar work with seniors in Cold Spring to keep them socially connected and mentally sharp. 
• Putnam legislators reject tax ‘timeout' (midhudsonnews.com) — Putnam County legislators have rejected a one-year county property tax “timeout,” but Philipstown’s Nancy Montgomery is pushing instead to extend the county’s gas tax pause and keep the clothing sales tax exemption. For Philipstown residents, the debate now shifts to whether surplus funds should support permanent tax relief or targeted help like emergency services equipment for local towns.
• Lawler Attacks Conley on Data Centers (highlandscurrent.org) — Voters in Philipstown are part of a closely watched congressional race where Rep. Mike Lawler is attacking challenger Cait Conley over data centers and New York’s new moratorium on large facilities. The piece unpacks how both candidates actually line up on the pause, campaign donations tied to data center interests, and a bipartisan bill that would shift infrastructure costs from ratepayers to data center developers.
