WPCNR MR. AND MRS. AND MS. WHITE PLAINS VOICE. April 26, 2005: This morning a commentor alleged that the former Mayor of White Plains, Alfred Del Vecchio, had asked Mayor Joseph Delfino to appoint him Commissioner of Planning in 1997 when Mr. Delfino took office. Mayor Del Vecchio, writing the CitizeNetReporter today asserts this is not true. Mayor Del Vecchio writes:
John, The post by wpcitizen that I asked Joe Delfino to appoint me as planning commissioner is a boldfaced lie. No doubt wpcitizen is speaking for joe with Joe's permission. Is it appropriate for you to verify this with Joe. I was Mayor of this city for 18 years and don't like to see my name used as a lie. I am asking for your help in preserving the integrity of your paper. Please. I don't care what it costs to correct this lie.
Al Del Vecchio
