The Trumansburg Police Department (TPD) recently made public the revised version of its state mandated âReform and Reinvention Collaboration Plan.â
The plan begins with a message to the community from Trumansburg Police Chief Joe Nelson, originally posted in June 2020, in which he condemns the actions of the police officers involved in the death of George Floyd.Â
âI will not deploy officers into this community without knowing they can be trusted to do their job in accordance with the law, while maintaining the appropriate demeanor you deserve,â Nelson states.Â
Floydâs death inspired youth-led protests in the village last summer.Â
The drafting of the plan was prompted by an executive order from New York Governor Andrew Cuomo. The order directed all municipalities with police departments to engage stakeholders within the community served by that police department in a dialogue aimed at reviewing and, where needed, improving the strategies, policies

“I wrote this letter with Luisa Fuentes because many of us around the region felt that communities were not doing justice to the intent of this, nor to it’s spirit, and that in fact, in the end, this would boomerang and create more anger, Sussman said.
New York train operator sues former union over continued dues deductions by Steve Bittenbender, The Center Square contributor | March 15, 2021 01:00 PM Print this article
A New York train operator filed a federal lawsuit earlier this week claiming a union he resigned from last year has continued to take dues out of his paycheck.
According to the case filed in the U.S. District Court in New York’s Eastern District, Wayne Wong, who works for the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, tried repeatedly to resign from the Transport Workers Union Local 100 starting last June. However, each time, he was told to resubmit.
Finally, Wong claims union officials told him in July he had to submit his resignation in person at the union’s office in New York City.

The public defender has a mandate to protect the constitutional rights of our clients. Foremost among those rights is the presumption of innocence of the accused. The IPVI program’s request for our involvement undermines our mandated duties, said Thomas Angell, Dutchess County s public defender.
Angell s office said it had provided Family Services with suggestions on how the two offices could work together, but those recommendations were not accepted.
