Residents in New Rochelle and Pelham are complaining about disruptive MTA construction noise, but federal environmental approvals may provide avenues for holding the agency accountable.

Learn what residents can do, who has oversight authority and what we’re investigating: #PennStationAccess #MTA #NewRochelle talkofthesound.com/2026/10/2…

Larchmont Police Chief Joseph Paprota retired after just seven weeks on the job, with village officials offering no explanation for his departure. Records obtained by Talk of the Sound reveal three substantiated disciplinary cases involving false official statements, prisoner security and the mishandling of a domestic violence call. The findings raise questions about what village officials knew when they appointed him chief. #Larchmont #WestchesterCounty #PoliceAccountability talkofthesound.com/2026/10/1…

Larchmont knew months before construction began at Flint Park that the soil contained buried ash, elevated lead and other contaminants, according to environmental reports obtained by Talk of the Sound.

Our investigation examines what Village officials knew, when they knew it and why their public explanations don’t square with their own records. #Larchmont #FlintPark #InvestigativeJournalism talkofthesound.com/2026/10/1…
