Mayor Phil Amicone made another trip to Albany today, his fifth since the release of Gov.Eliot Spitzer’s budget in January. The Republican mayor is meeting with Democratic lawmakers: Assemblyman Gary Pretlow, and state Senators Andrea Stewart-Cousins and Jeffrey Klein. At the top of the mayor’s agenda is more money – $35 million to be precise – for the city’s school district, which is the biggest in Westchester County, said Amicone spokesman David Simpson.
Then on Wednesday, Amicone travels to Washington, D.C., where he is scheduled to meet with Sen. Chuck Schumer, Rep. Eliot Engle, and Kate Beale on the staff of Sen. Hilary Clinton, who is otherwise engaged this week. He is also scheduled to meet with U.S. Deputy Education Secretary Roy Bernardi. Amicone hopes to come home with some grants for bolstering police protection in the city, said his spokesman David Simpson..
