Updated proposal for Wilton Mall Development

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:12:07 GMT

WILTON, NY (NEWS10) - The Wilton Town Board says they expect an updated proposal for development of the Wilton Mall on May 4th. Councilman Ray O’Conor says they received a letter from the mall's ownership group, Macerich, stating they intend on making a presentation at that meeting.The current proposal has been met with challenges. "There’s this premise that if you put hundreds of apartments or townhomes there that it saves the mall, I don’t know that they’ve made that case yet," said councilman Ray O'Conor. He says he's not convinced mixed use apartments are the best solution. "To be quite candid some of the concerns ideas of members of the town board were dismissed, ignored and so that’s put the brakes on the chances of this project being approved," said O'Conor.O’Conor says he hopes the updated plans address more than just the residential components. He noted that many properties throughout the country have transitioned into entertainment centers and into alternate uses.News 10 r...

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (WMBD)-- The Illinois General Assembly passed HB 1049 on Thursday, preventing dog breed discrimination by insurance companies.Spearheaded by Best Friends Animal Society and rep. Rita Mayfield, the text of the bill is that; No insurer shall refuse to issue or renew, cancel, or charge or impose and increased premium or rate for a policy or contract, or exclude, limit, restrict or reduce coverage for a policy or contract based soley upon harboring or owning any dog of a specific breed or mix. It does not prohibit an insurer from refusing to issue or renew or from cancelling a policy or imposing an increased fee based upon the designation of an individual dog of any breed or mix as a dangerous or vicious dog under the Illinois Animal Control Act. Prior to the legislation, a majority of Illinois insurance companies could dictate what breed or mix of dog owners can keep regardless of behavior.

Nuggets’ Nikola Jokic tired of MVP conversation: “I don’t think about it anymore”

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:12:07 GMT

Sorry debaters and hot-takers. Nikola Jokic has better things to worry about than the MVP race.Personally, he’s got a young family he misses whenever the Nuggets hit the road. Professionally, he’s got an NBA championship to win. Both pursuits have lapped his interest, twice over, in discussing or even contemplating the MVP race.“I don’t think about it anymore,” he said earlier this week as the team concluded a 10-day road trip in Washington. “It’s past.”At one point during his first two MVP runs, it entered his frame of mind. But now, when the conversation has devolved and both he and the Nuggets are onto bigger and better things, Jokic doesn’t have time for it. (Don’t make the mistake of assuming the award doesn’t matter to him; just accept that, for him, the conversation isn’t worth indulging nor does he have anything to add.)Some of the NBA’s MVP voters may be swayed this upcoming week, when Denver hosts Milwaukee and Giannis Antetokounmpo on Saturday or Philade...
