WPCNR MAIN STREET JOURNAL. By John F. Bailey. May 22, 2003: In their Nominating Convention at St. Bartholomew's Episcopal Church in White Plains concluded within the hour, the Republican City Committee unanimously nominated Frank Cantatore to oppose County Legislator William Ryan in the 5th County Legislative District, representing White Plains and Scarsdale.

The Republicans named their city Common Council slate, tapping North Broadway residents, Tim Sheehan and Rosa Munoz, and Jeffrey Binder of the Highlands to contest the three seats up for election to the Common Council this fall.
Cantatore, a builder who was the first to take a chance on White Plains with his development, Clayton Park, said the County Legislature has mismanaged the county by failing to plan in good times, and failure to have "a contingency plan," criticising Mr. Ryan specifically for failure to pay attention to issues specific to White Plains and Scarsdale, the principal areas in the 5th Legislative District.
Binder and Sheehan, both attorneys, in their nominating speeches called for responsible continued growth of the city, while Munoz, a 1980 immigrant from Peru, and a twenty year resident of White Plains, becomes the first Hispanic woman to be nominated to run for the Common Council. An information Resource Specialist with the Schott Corporation in Yonkers, Ms. Munoz lives in the North Broadway neighborhood and has an M.B.A. in finance. She said she has long wanted to run for the Common Council and will work to persuade more Latino citizens of the city to register to vote and participate in the political process.
