Lance Weaver, the senior vice chairman of Delaware-based MBNA Corp. spoke to reporters today via conference call, describing what it was like submerged upsidedown underwater, holding his breath and trying to open the door to escape. "The cabin was full of water, and I knew in my mind that we needed to get that door open that time was of the essence," Weaver said. "As we were tumbling in the cabin, I would say that we felt that it was about a minute of submersion, from the point we hit the water until we probably got that door open."The causes of both crashes are under investigation. A Fresh Direct delivery guy jumped in the river to rescue a few of the passengers and then got back in his truck to finish his grocery deliveries.Earlier:

State Senater Larkin pushes for state casino approval before adjournment for the summer

The state Senate is set to adjourn for the summer in four days and Senator William Larkin of Cornwall-on-Hudson, chairman of the Racing and Wagering Committee, would like to see the state approve one casino before then.
Larkin notes that while legislation approved in late 2001 okayed three casinos for the Catskills, the governor most recently proposed one – at Kutsher’s – and he thinks one is better than none at this point.
Larkin said concerns about negative impacts may be overblown. “They don’t remember the hey-days of the borscht belt,” he said. “When this area was thriving all of the hotels – about 30 some hotels – there were 7,500 rooms. We’re now talking about, even four casinos; it would only be 4,500 rooms. So the traffic that they talk about isn’t as big because they don’t remember what it was like.”
The legislation that would approve the casino would also settle land claims between the state and the Native American tribe.

Orange County and three Kiryas Yoel developers have settled a longstanding sewer dispute about illegal sewer hookups in the village, that came to a head last month with the County Executive

Under the agreement, the developers – Irene Developers, Forest Enterprises and Hakiryah Affordable Housing – will give the county the new sewer main and drop their demand to be reimbursed. They will pay a $5,000 penalty and must pay $15,000 more if they violate terms of the deal.
