YONKERS, NY -- Calling him "the one, the only real conservative in the race," Westchester County Executive Rob Astorino today endorsed John Murtagh for Mayor of Yonkers.
"John Murtagh is the kind of conservative reformer Yonkers needs," said Astorino, who made the endorsement with Murtagh present at 11:30 AM today at Cook Field on Cook Avenue in Yonkers.
Astorino, who was elected in a major upset two years ago, added, "Taxpayers have cut corners and made sacrifices to get their families through the current economy, and they want a Mayor like John Murtagh, who will force city government to live within its means."
Astorino applauded Murtagh for his pro-taxpayer record, noting, "John Murtagh set the right tone on day one as a city councilman when he refused a "free" city car. As Mayor, John Murtagh will bring commonsense solutions to the problems facing Yonkers. He's tough, he's fair, and he knows how to get things done. I look forward to working with him as your next mayor."
