WPCNR City Hall Circuit. By John F. Bailey. January 26, 2005: The announcement of the Mayor's Comprehensive Plan Review Committee expected last Friday is now three days late, with no explanation forthcoming from the Mayor's Office as to the causes of the delay. Meanwhile, WPCNR has learned that seven members have been chosen and agreed to serve.
They include John Martin (former chair of the 1997 Plan Committee), and Mary Cavallero(Chair of the White Plains Planning Board, as Co-Chairpersons, Anne Edwards (of the White Plains Beautification Committee, Ron Jackson (Community Advocate), Lewis Trippett (former member of the School Board), John Vorperian (Co-Chair of the Council of Neighborhood Associations) and Isabel Villar (Hispanic community activist). WPCNR attempts to elicit comment from City Hall as to how the list has been progressing and who is on it have not been returned, nor when the Committee is expected to be completed, have not been returned.
To date, three members of the Citizens Plan Committee whose own analysis of issues that require consideration prompted city hall to put together its own Review of how the 1997 Comprehensive Plan was achieved, have been placed on the comittee: Mr. Martin, Mr. Trippett and Mr. Vorperian.
