(WHITE PLAINS, NY) “After years of wasting Westchester taxpayer money, and 10 attempts at submitting an acceptable analysis of impediments, it seems the 11th time is the charm for the County Executive. The difference now is that this attempt comes on the heels of Lynne Patton’s, a former Eric Trump Foundation event planner, appointment as HUD Region II Administrator.

(WHITE PLAINS, NY) With a room packed full of supporters, legislators met with Deputy County Executive Kevin Plunkett, Commissioners from the Departments of Social Services, Corrections, Public Safety, & Probation, and immigration advocates to discuss the Immigrant Protection Act. At the end of the meeting, legislators agreed to work diligently to make any needed revisions to the bill in the coming week. A full vote on the Act is anticipated to take place at the next Board of Legislators meeting.

Westchester County Legislator, David Tubiolo, (Yonkers & Mount Vernon) and Mae Carpenter, Director of Senior Services & Programs, diligently secured the necessary funding to ensure the annual “Senior Summer Show” successfully took place this past Thursday, June 29 at the Ukrainian Youth Center.  

(WHITE PLAINS, NY) After yesterday’s public hearing, Democrats announce they will take the lead in coordinating discussion and action steps on the important continuing public safety & economic issue of allowing ride-sharing in Westchester County.

(WHITE PLAINS, NY) “Today’s announcement is welcome news for Westchester residents, and visitors to Westchester, who want to utilize ride-share services. While we still have some concerns, we have long been proponents of safe ride-sharing in Westchester County. Unfortunately, the County Executive’s secretive tactics forced a back-room decision to be struck at the eleventh hour instead of a more open and transparent process. I look forward to hearing the comments and concerns of Westchester residents at tomorrow’s public hearing,” said Majority Leader Catherine Borgia.
