Westchester GOP legislators: public gets the credit

Posted by: Liz Anderson - Posted in Westchester Board of Legislators, Westchester County on Dec 08, 2008

The three GOP legislators on the Westchester County Board today in a news release “credited the public outcry over proposed raises for commissioners, supervisors and other management for forcing the county executive and the Democratic majority to rescind the increases.

“I’m glad to see the administration and our Democratic colleagues have finally seen the light and realized these raises were an insult to taxpayers,” Minority Leader George Oros said in the statement. “Make no mistake about it, the public opposition to these raises had a lot to do with the proposal being scrapped.”

“Slowly but surely, what we’ve been saying about running county government more efficiently may actually be penetrating,” Oros said. “Cutting out the raises is certainly a start.”

    the republicans on the board..few as they may be…understand that when you have a veto proof board
    and a county exec with a pr staff costing millions
    you are wasting money or shall we say burning money
    at a rate that is unacceptable for government..
    these jobs should not be forever …andy spano told
    me he was going to serve one term….now its going
    on four….if billionaire mike bloomberg who runs
    nyc..in a far more responsible fashion than andy
    runs the county can be term limited ..why are we
    continuing to allow andy and ryan and company to
    run the county into the ground
