This
is
the
Delaware
County
Newscast
with
the
most
interesting
news
from
around
the
county
this
week.
I'm
Andrew
Cantor.
Delaware
County
may
soon
have
to
make
a
tough
choice
about
its
Walton
landfill.
The
current
landfill
doesn't
meet
the
state's
proposed
regulations
for
what's
allowed
to
leach
out,
specifically
PFAS,
aka
Forever
Chemicals.
If
the
regs
are
passed,
the
county
will
have
to
decide
whether
to
ship
its
trash
elsewhere,
but
still
pay
to
treat
and
monitor
the
current
landfill,
or
it
could
spend
something
like
5
million
bucks
to
upgrade
the
Walton
landfill.
It
might
be
able
to
get
a
grant
to
help
with
that,
which
is
probably
why
the
county's
attorney
recommended
that
option.
Right
now,
though,
it's
a
matter
of
waiting
to
see
if
these
new
regulations
get
approved
or
not,
and
then
figuring
out
what
to
do.
On
the
positive
side,
the
county
keeps
raking
in
the
sales
tax
money,
revenue
is
up
more
than
8%
this
year
compared
to
last,
that's
as
of
June.
It
comes
to
more
than
$1.5
million
over
what
was
expected,
and
that's
just
for
the
first
half
of
the
year.
So,
will
the
county
share
any
of
that
with
the
towns
and
villages
where
the
taxes
are
actually
collected?
Ha,
not
a
chance,
say
county
supervisors,
even
though
sales
tax
revenue
just
keeps
going
up,
while
towns
and
villages
struggle
to
meet
their
budgets.
As
a
side
note,
county
officials
are
considering
raising
the
county's
hotel
occupancy
tax
and
then
not
sharing
that
money
directly
either.
The
Village
of
Del
High
will
be
getting
itself
a
state
grant
of
more
than
$270,000
to
help
pay
for
a
bunch
of
infrastructure
improvements
to
allow
a
new
housing
development
on
Pine
Hill
Terrace
to
move
along.
And
the
gods
know
we
can
use
more
housing
in
the
county.
The
development
would
include
24
two-bedroom
apartments,
hopefully
filled
with
young
professionals
and
their
taxpaying
families.
And
speaking
of
grants
and
Delhi,
the
village
is
also
hoping
to
score
itself
more
than
a
hundred
grand
from
the
state
to
inventory
its
trees
and
to
help
plan
stuff
like
maintenance,
new
plantings,
and
other
ways
they
can
use
greenery
to
make
Delhi
an
even
better
place
to
live.
First,
though,
the
state
requires
the
village
to
have
a
tree
commission.
And
guess
what?
Trustees
were
surprised
to
find
they
already
have
a
tree
commission.
They
just
need
to
revive
it,
so
now
someone
has
to
reach
out
to
the
members
of
that
tree
commission
who
might
not
even
remember
they're
on
it.
Surprise!
Police
in
Sydney
are
investigating
disturbances
around
the
village
sometime
last
Friday
night.
What
are
these
disturbances?
They
didn't
specify,
but
it's
probably
a
bunch
of
kids
being
kids.
Well,
maybe
not
being
the
best
kids.
Basically,
if
you
have
video
footage
of
a
group
of
teenagers
in
Sydney
after
dark,
the
police
would
love
to
speak
with
you.
And
there
you
have
it,
some
of
the
most
interesting
news
to
come
out
of
Delaware
County
this
week.
