WPCNR WHITE PLAINS VOICE. From Delfin Heusler. January 2, 2004: The Constitution Party candidate for County Legislator in the 15th District has issued a statement on the Rob Astorino ousting as Parks Committee Chairman, calling for Playland to be taken over by a private corporation:
Heusler States: "That this is another example of politics being ahead of the taxpayer. We have a County Executive who wants to keep the County paying for this amusement park, that is losing the County millions of dollars each year. Mr. Astorino was just doing his job which was looking out for the best interests of the taxpayers. This County board seems to be rubber-stamping everything that this County Executive & Assistant County Executive Larry Schwartz tells them to do.
It is the same situation with these outrageous raises that the
Westchester County Managers got close to a 13% pay raise. The only one to speak out was Mr. Astorino. That raise by the way gave Mr. Schwartz a bigger salary than County Executive Andrew Spano. Where is the oversight on the County Board of Legislators? We need Playland to be privatized & run by an outside entity and not let the taxpayers of Westchester County holding the bill and the bag.
It is time for real leadership on the Westchester County Board of Legislators, someone who will put the taxpayers first ahead of politics as usual & also ahead of the 9th floor & mssrs: Spano & Schwartz.
