Astorino gets NYFG endorsement

Posted by: Gerald McKinstry - Posted in Rob Astorino, Uncategorized on Jun 03, 2009

Rob Astorino, a Republican running for Westchester County Executive, was endorsed by New Yorkers For Growth, a political action committee created to promote responsible fiscal policy in New York State.

Larchmont Mayor Liz Feld, a board member of the group and fellow Republican, said Astorino is advocating for smart government and tax relief.


“Westchester County families are bearing the highest tax burden in America, and Rob Astorino will turn things around with smarter, streamlined government,” Feld said.  “Today’s taxes are the direct result of irresponsible fiscal policy at the county, state and federal level, and Mr. Astorino has the strength and energy to challenge those who drive our taxes ever-higher at every level of government. It is critical that Westchester residents  have a county executive who will advocate for us, not just here in Westchester, but in Albany and Washington as well.”

The endorsement is the group’s first this year. It was announced Tuesday night in Rye. For more information, check out New Yorkers For Growth online.
