Love the local news

Great local news but they update the app too often. Seems like every time I open it I have to update it.

Crime versus environmental protection

Too much emphasis on crime
How about more about the lithium ion battery facility planned for Hurley Avenue? Why not place it at a safe distance in the Hurley Flats nearer to the Central Hudson transformer station?
