On The Record: Term Limits for Rockland County Elected Officials

NEW CITY, NY – There has been much talk about imposing term limits for Rockland County Elected Officials. Over the next two weeks, we will be contacting all members of the Rockland County Legislature to get their stance on imposition of term limits. This article will be updated with their responses.

The movement to impose term limits in Rockland started with Lauren Marie Wohl, admin of the popular Facebook group Clarkstown Community Uncensored. During the last election cycle, a video of Wohl questioning Legislator Aney Paul went viral locally.

Currently, The Town of Clarkstown is the only town in Rockland that has imposed term limits.

Frozen Toilet During Extreme Cold? What Homeowners Should and Shouldn’t Do

Rockland Report Admin

With freezing temperatures expected across Rockland County, Fire and Emergency Services is reminding residents to take steps to prevent frozen and burst pipes, which can cause significant property damage and even lead to fires.

Officials recommend allowing faucets to drip slightly, especially overnight, to keep water moving through pipes. Residents should also open cabinet doors to allow warm air to circulate around plumbing, particularly in kitchens and bathrooms.

Fire and Emergency Services advises keeping homes heated to at least 55 degrees, even when away, and insulating exposed pipes in basements, crawl spaces, and garages. Residents are warned never to use open flames or unsafe heating devices to thaw frozen pipes.

If a pipe does freeze, officials recommend using a hair dryer or warm air to thaw it safely. Torches or other open-flame methods should never be used. A frozen toilet is inconvenient, but rushing the fix can turn a minor problem into major damage. Slow, careful warming is the safest solution, and professional help should be sought if the issue persists.

In the event of a burst pipe or water emergency, residents are urged to shut off the water immediately and contact emergency services or a licensed professional if needed.

Officials remind residents to stay warm, stay safe, and take preventative steps to protect their homes during extreme cold weather.
