News from Chuck Lesnick.
With the inaugural ceremony and celebration now behind us, my team is focused on getting things done for Yonkers and earning even more recognition. Like this: In my first legislative accomplishment, a 7-0 vote, Yonkers became the first city to adopt New York’s landmark bill to help disabled citizens on fixed income cope with rising rent. Now other cities in Westchester County are considering following Yonkers’ lead!
As Senator Clinton said at my gala, "Now is the time for the fourth largest city in New York to truly take its place as one of the great cities in America." This new law will help do just that.
I also remain committed to community involvement at every chance, including the Ridge Hill development where I’m working to coordinate an innovative focus group of planning specialists who use cutting-edge technology for presenting plans and imagining solutions to development concerns in 3-D.
The Editors of The Journal News recently applauded these efforts. It’s a joy to be able to use my Urban Planning expertise for the good of the city I love.
Sincerely,
Chuck
Yonkers City Council President
