1. Take a look at the Brookhaven Town Police Blotter from March 30. "A Selden man wrestled a man to the ground before swiping his wallet in Coram on Friday, police said. Elliott Brown, 31, attacked the man on Middle Country Road at 4 p.m. on Friday, and when he was later approached by officers at about 1 p.m. on Saturday, he gave a false name, according to police. Brown was charged with third-degree robbery and false personation, police said. It is not clear if the victim was harmed in the robbery."

3. ICYMI: New York State residents have the highest tax burden in the country. A recent study by WalletHub concluded that New York State has a 12.75% tax burden, making it the highest. The burden takes into effect property taxes, individual income taxes, and sales and excise tax. In a recent other study we posted, New Yorkers are also fleeing from the state at a much higher rate than the majority of other states. (Patch)
