YONKERS, NY: Letter to the Editor in the Journal News by "The Yonkers Insider"

Letter to the Editor in the Journal News by "The Yonkers Insider"

Yonkers officials must work together

Chuck Lesnick as our Yonkers City Council president will serve our city well. His experience with economic development will be an asset to our City Council. He also is a strong believer in education and ethics in our government. We need to clean up the atmosphere in City Hall and in the Yonkers Board of Education.

That is only done with the leadership of Chuck Lesnick and other members of the Yonkers City Council, like Majority Leader Patricia McDow. The Democrats will lead this city proudly — also need to mention Council Members Dennis Robertson and Sandy Annabi.

We need to return government to the people. We also need an open and transparent way. That will only happen under a Lesnick and McDow team. Also, Dennis Robertson and Sandy Annabi will lead the way on these issues of ethics and transparency. Republican Council Members Liam McLaughlin, Dee Barbato and John Murtagh will hopefully follow. I do believe the Republicans love this city as well. We all want the City of Gracious Living to succeed. But we need to work together and put politics aside to make this happen. Yonkers has its best days ahead and not its worst days. Also, I salute Mayor Phil Amicone for trying to open government in the last year. He also deserves some credit on these issues as well. Amicone does want what's best for Yonkers. He is willing to work with the Democrats to move Yonkers forward, and that is a strength of his.
