LIRR Strike: Long Island Rail Road workers are back on picket lines as the strike hits its second day, with the National Mediation Board pulling union and MTA leaders into a bargaining meeting Sunday night—leaving Monday commuters scrambling. The MTA says it’s activated contingency plans, including limited free shuttles from Long Island stations to subway connections in Queens starting 4:30 a.m., plus drop-off guidance for those who can get a ride. Public Safety: In Port Antonio, councillor Wayne McKenzie is calling out the National Works Agency over caved-in manholes he says are still threatening pedestrians and motorists. Justice Update: A St Catherine man who shot at a cop in 2015 has won a small reduction after a resentencing exercise by the Court of Appeal. Tourism & Business: State Minister Delano Seiveright says Jamaica is “open for business” post-Hurricane Melissa, while TPDCo rolls out Licensing Expo 2026 to speed up tourism approvals. Crime & Community: NEPA is still trying to locate and capture non-native white-faced capuchin monkeys reported in St Elizabeth, urging the public not to approach them.
