(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.

At the recent Board of Legislators (BOL) meeting, Legislator David Tubiolo (Yonkers & Mount Vernon) in Bi-Partisanship voted and passed Bond Acts for $2.5 million for “Fire Training Site Improvements” and $500,000 for “Rescue/Pumper Vehicle”.

(WHITE PLAINS, NY) At last night’s Board meeting, Legislators voted in support of the measure put forth by the Families Task Force.
