BoardOrange County Legislature Regular Session
The legislature held a regular session to discuss several key items. Primary attention was given to the proposed ICE processing detention facility in the town of Newburgh; members debated the county's legal limitations under Home Rule and reaffirmed opposition to the project. Assemblyman Chris Eachus provided input, and public members voiced strong objections, requesting further actions to restrict infrastructure support for the facility. Additionally, an intern proposed a resolution to officially recognize November as Epilepsy Awareness Month.
