Bicycle-In-The-Park Weather Is Here At Last! Dog Shit Bags Available For All Patrons! Hooray!
Yesterday I saw this young bicyclist ride along the entire ADA ramp to the top of Promenade and back down. Twice. This came as no surprise since there are no signs anywhere in the park prohibiting the riding of bikes. In fact, there are no signs at all in the new entrance to the park, not even one welcoming patrons or identifying the park. We have Rob Perry to thank for all of this. Apparently, he is fine with cyclists using the ADA ramp and pedaling around the main area of the park as they please. Pedal bikes, electric bikes, electric scooters, skateboards -- whatever, it doesn't matter one bit!
Take Ownership Of Streetlights, Be Forced to Raise The Budget and Taxes Again!
I came across something yesterday morning that confirmed what I had been told a few weeks ago by the only helpful person in the Mayor's Office regarding the repair of our new LED streetlights, an activity that was non-existent until this week or last. HUDseen most recently reported on this issue on March 20th.

Do You Ever Wonder Why The Hudson Common Council Is So Useless and Full Of Dysfunction?
There is more malfeasance than Tom Depietro's two signatures on third ward councilmember Lola Roberts' 2023 ballot petition. No one should be surprised at this. She is a sham!
Lola witnessed two people sign her petition who both actually included the same address in the 400 block of State Street, even though all of the 400 block of State Street is located in the fourth ward. According to "Sheet No. 2" of Lola's 8 sheets of signatures, she witnessed two signatures of people residing outside of her ward. OUTSIDE OF THE FUCKING THIRD WARD!!!!!!

Let's Look On The Bright, Warm and Sunny Side, Can We?
On Thursday, for the first time in at least 5 months, I noticed HPD officers speaking with a scruffy group of "patrons" at the 7th Street Park. It's typically a sign that it isn't winter when HPD is responding to calls of unwelcome behavior in the park (almost always in the portion of the park closest to the store where alcohol can be bought!). Hooray for no winter! Hooray for HPD in the park!
