The Legislature’s 17th District that Alvarado represents includes the Annabi’s 2nd City Council District as well as pieces of the councils’ first, third and fourth districts.

   Annabi will get crushed, this district is primarily a Hispanic district and Alvarado has done a good job serving the people in his district.

   I hear that she is a subject of the ongoing U.S. Attorney’s federal investigation into corruption in Westchester. Is this true?

   Ms. Annabi appears to be a firebrand. Her constant questioning of the Yonkers Public Schools administration is a welcome change to the go along to get along behavior which mires inner city schools in hopelessness while taxpayers pay upwards of 20 K per student. That fact alone is reason to send her to represent Yonkers in the County Legislature. She actually QUESTIONS the schools budget!

   And “Jose”, as to what you “hear”, there should be an investigation not only into corruption in Yonkers but all of Westchester. Yonkers elected officials had their records seized…Republicans and Democrats. That’s a good thing.

   I don’t know that it has anything to do with Annabi, and I’ll bet you don’t either. You’re just afraid of her running against your boy Jose, who is not allowed by his handlers to speak in public by the way. Annabi will clean his clock!

   And since when in a Democracy are districts reserved for certain ethnic groups? Annabi has served a primarily Spanish Speaking constituency for 8 years now and they continue to re elect her. She’s smart and she’s not a Yes man to Amicone or to Spano. Jose, you have about three more months and you’ll need to find a job and work for a living.

   Don’t underestimate Annabi.
