The Westchester County Board of Legislators celebrated Caribbean American Heritage Month on Monday night with a ceremony honoring two exceptional individuals: Horace E. Anderson, Jr., Dean of Pace University’s Elisabeth Haub School of Law and champion of expanding educational opportunities and Annmarie Smith, longtime Yonkers public education advocate and community leader.

The Westchester County Board of Legislators unanimously approved several significant measures tonight that will directly impact residents' daily lives, from ensuring a lasting clean water supply to protecting domestic violence victims.

Westchester County Legislator David Tubiolo (D-Yonkers, Mount Vernon) presented a $30,000 check to the Aisling Irish Cultural and Community Center yesterday afternoon. The funding will support the Center's community programs, including arts, music, language, dance, and its homebound meal delivery service for seniors.

County residents described the frustration and financial struggles caused by Con Edison's soaring utility rates last night at the Westchester County Board of Legislators' second Con Edison Public Input Session in Irvington’s Town Hall Theater. It was the second in a series of community forums the Board will host across the County in the coming months to give people a platform to voice their concerns about the utility company.
