📰 News we're reading
• NY boosts childcare aid for Rockland; questions about access remain (bluewaterhealthyliving.com) — Families in East Ramapo and Ramapo are being urged to tap into a major increase in New York’s childcare assistance funding, which has cleared Rockland County’s voucher waitlist. Local NAACP leaders, state officials, and the district monitor are pushing to better connect Ramapo-area parents with low-cost childcare and pre-K options that many providers still don’t realize they can offer. 
• Village of Spring Valley Board Approves Start of Process for Plea Bargains by Mail (rocklanddaily.com) — Spring Valley is moving toward letting drivers handle certain traffic plea bargains entirely by mail, following the example already set in the Town of Ramapo. The new system aims to cut courthouse trips, reduce missed work time, and streamline routine traffic cases for local residents once details are finalized.
