• McManus Appears in Albany Times Union (harrisbeachmurtha.com) — Yorktown is highlighted statewide for a local ban on battery storage facilities that was overturned in court, signaling how judges increasingly treat grid-scale storage as essential infrastructure. For Yorktown residents, the case shows that outright prohibitions on these projects may not hold, shifting future fights over locations and safety standards from the town board into the courtroom.
   

• Rep. Mike Lawler, challenger Cait Conley slug it out on the issues during N.Y.-17 debate (cbsnews.com) — Voters in northern Westchester, including Yorktown residents, heard Rep. Mike Lawler and challenger Cait Conley clash over affordability, immigration, and data centers in a closely watched NY-17 debate.
