The Westchester County Board of Legislators today hosted 13 young adults with developmental disabilities for its first mock legislative session designed specifically for them. Participants had the opportunity to debate and vote on public policy in a real-world setting.
Westchester County Legislator Erika L. Pierce (D–Bedford, Lewisboro, Mount Kisco, North Salem, Pound Ridge, Somers) presented $21,600 in County funding to Friends of Karen, a North Salem-based nonprofit that assists families with children facing life-threatening illnesses. Pierce delivered a ceremonial “big check” on behalf of the Board of Legislators, affirming the Board’s commitment to uplift the County’s children and families.
The Westchester County Board of Legislators will officially move its website from westchesterlegislators.com to WestchesterLegislatorsNY.gov, effective April 20. This transition reflects the Board’s ongoing efforts to strengthen transparency, security, and public confidence.
The Westchester County Board of Legislators is launching a new social media video series, Meet Your Legislator, offering residents an inside look at the people who represent them in county government.
