STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. - There’s nothing neighborly about these flights.
Staten Islanders are fed up with persistent noise from low-flying helicopters, including sightseeing choppers flying out of Linden Airport in New Jersey.

Taxpayer refund checks are getting stolen in the mail.
And then, when the Treasury Department issues the taxpayer a new check through the mail, the replacement is getting stolen too.
Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R., N.Y.) said her office has fielded 218 cases of stolen checks totaling $3.8 million, with amounts ranging from a few hundred dollars up to $500,000. In one case, it took a constituent four tries to get a refund check delivered.
Our office recently helped a constituent redeposit two Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments to the proper account after two payments of $1,886 and $23,369 had been made to the incorrect institution.
After our office intervened, the total SSI payment of $25,255 was sent to the correct account and the constituent was made whole!
We had a constituent reach out to our office last November after her deceased mother’s IRS refund check was stolen in the mail.
Bipartisan legislation that would require infertility treatments, like in vitro fertilization, to be covered by private insurance has the support of Staten Island’s congresswoman.

The measure would ensure infertility care is treated just as any other disease.

The money was administered through the Bureau of Justice Assistance and awarded under the FY24 Prosecuting Cold Cases Using DNA grant program.
