Comments on: Spano backs Amicone http://polhudson.lohudblogs.com/2007/04/10/spano-backs-amicone/ Political news in the Lower Hudson Valley, New York state.

The Tax Increment Financing (TIF) will take the lion share of the tax increase (the increment) and use it to pay for infrastructure work, which is normally a part of the "investment" (that you referred to) that the developer puts into the project. Haven't you been paying attention? Or does the truth not matter to the Amicone spin machine? In response to The Consultant, Yonkers will not increase its tax base by the Cappelli project.

Some people like him and some don't but the bottom line is he brought more assistance home to Wesstchester then any other member of the Westchester delegation has in yrs. and helped out many organizations over the yrs. he was in office and those that voted him out like you will pay the price for yrs. to come in taxes, and in loss of education aid, which I guess you like doing because our new Senator sat by quietly and did nothing. Maybe you should go back over the yrs. and see what Nick Spano did for this community and I am sure you will find you/family in some way be it thru work or an organization benefited from it.

This deal makes the Chamber of Commerce transaction look like kids stuff. Nick Spano brings down tens of millions of taxpayer dollars from Albany for the Cappelli project. He loses the election and gets hired by Cappelli and crew as a "consultant". Now he must deliver an Amicone victory to make his "clients" happy. Amicone gives away the City to Cappelli (property, tax breaks, TIF, etc). Everyone is happy, except the Yonkers taxpayer who gets taken to the cleaners. Is anyone paying attention here?

And I agree with yonkers guy I think it would help Nick when he (hopefully runs) again for that senate seat that is held by a very ineffective person at this time. The NY Times doesn't even know who she is they printed the wrong picture of her in last weeks story and on here they called her Senator Andrew Cousins so much for her making any impact anyplace.

By breaking his silence nick has recognized that the political shots taken recently by jeries against the mayor is not healthy, and by implication if zhey cannot bring himself to support phil maybe he should resign as leader and let someone else do the job mr spano has just sent a message to the yonkers city
leader that his job is to support the incumbant mayor.
