Gillibrand spoke with local officials including NYS Assemblywoman Ellen Jaffe and Nyack Trustees Jen White and Doug Foster as well as residents and local farmers represented at the market, answering questions about local and national issues.
Regarding obtaining federal funding for a replacement Tappan Zee Bridge, Gillibrand gave her unqualified support. “We’re going to fight for it,” she said. “The Tappan Zee bridge is an important thoroughfare for the region.” She also voiced support for the commuter rapid transit (CRT) and Bus Rapid Transit parts of the plan which will increase mass transit options for NYC passengers and 287 corridor commuters.

The Edward Hopper House Express Yourself! Workshop for the YMCA Summer Teen Club had its opening reception on Friday at P.Ross on Main Street. The reception debuted the artwork of ten teenaged artists and kicked off a weeklong exhibition.
Each child had painted, with the help of a mentor, a self-portrait. The results were staggering in their beauty and poignancy. They ranged from one inspired by Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland to a depiction of a detective story another artist wanted to write.
