Mr Crozier states that my FOIL request of February 13, 2012, must be denied in its entirety because, “these records have been sealed by order of Judge Cerrato on January 6, 2012”.

CURRENT COMMENTARY: Turning A Sacred Cow Into Hamburger By LARRY M. ELKIN

If your job depends on winning an election, or if you work for someone in that position, there is probably never a good time to dispatch a political sacred cow.

for the rest of us, there may never be a better time than right now to phase out one of the tax code’s most unfair, unproductive and unjustifiably popular provisions: the itemized deduction for interest on home mortgages.

YONKERS, NY -- July 29, 2012 -- One year on and not a penny to show for it. Why? Has Yonkers Corporation Counsel forgotten it was tasked to delve into the lack of payment by property tax owners, some delinquent for two decades and more worth of unpaid taxes?

Pathetically, Yonkers Corporation Counsel not done the required due diligence pursue the property owners who have chosen to abandon their financial obligations to Yonkers with no repercussions whatsoever other than to encumber the taxpayer with picking up the tab.
