POLITICAL ANALYSIS: Mayor Mike Spano’s Aversion to Risk Will Not Mitigate Yonkers Historical Past or Its Present and Future Challenges by His Wishful Thinking By HEZI ARIS
YONKERS, NY — Yonkers Mayor Mike
Spano strives to create an image that all is good and safe and positive in
Yonkers. He is with all due respect simply wrong. His administration denied the
very crisis first presented in the Yonkers
Tribune over Peter Kelly’s X2o shenanigans. He and his staff maintain there
are issues with regard to the sale of the Alder Manor estate yet he refuses to
make it public, nor the games played by the mortgage holder that became the
vehicle for alleged “under the table” dismissal of the entire mortgage claiming
issues that mitigate full payment of the note. The concerns over the sub
standard protocol expected of a wayward Yonkers Board of Education that are
pushing ahead with a Public Private Partnership for Education with the intent of maintaining their entity as separate from the City of Yonkers yet dependent
on the City for its funding and now promoting legislation in Albany that will have
them tax the city despite their not having taxig ability. The economic
development debacle of Ridge Hill continues as sales tax revenues have yet to
meet a threshold written into contractual agreements with Forest City Ratner
that no matter who opens on the property have yet to pay off to a city that may
only be described as broken by all these games and alleged thefts. The crisis
of overbilling of water for as much as three years hence; similarly with regard
to electricity, begs the question where is the money and how much has been
stolen or used without authority. The payment of electricity and water and
parking inducements that are easy access to the taxpayer’s pocket without their
knowledge, and without their concurrence is an atrocity of governance continues
unabated. Why? Why is the scandal of theft of services permitted at the
Nepperhan Community Council? When will this madness end? Why has the Yonkers
Board of Education been silent over this abuse by Rev. Dr. Jim Bostic?
