Mayor Amicone's Nominee for Yonkers Inspector General Revealed to be Ethically Challenged By Hezi Aris

Yonkers, NY -- The newly painted Yonkers City Council Chambers added luster to the august venue. When the City Council membership put on its Intergovernmental Relations Committee garb to focus its attention at scrutinizing the credentials of Mayor Amicone's nominee for Yonkers Inspector General none, other than Yonkers City Councilman John Murtagh (pictured) and Councilwoman Joan Gronowski would know that their interview of Michael J White would require those in witness of the proceedings to wash themselves of his stench thereafter.

Appointment of a New Inspector General By Philip A. Zisman

Dear Mayor Amicone: 

On August 24, 2009 you informed me that you intend to nominate a new candidate for Yonkers Inspector General – a position that I have held for over 11 years. You offered me the opportunity to resign before you make the formal announcement. Rather than resign; however, I feel compelled to continue to fulfill my obligations to the people of Yonkers, and remain in office until a new IG has been confirmed by the City Council.
