WPCNR MR. & MRS. & MS. WHITE PLAINS VOICE. October 31, 2005: Anthony Pilla responds to charges that the Battle Hill debate format was "a joke.":

When people call the Battle hill debate a joke, they should consider the
behavior of the attendees at the 2 previous debates. I believe that due to
their disrespectful child-like actions the real joke is on them. Tuesday
will tell how all the people of White Plains really feel. No amount of
booing and pointed attacks or will change that.

Respectfully,
Anthony Pilla
member of the Battle Hill Association
Battle Hill "still worth fighting for"
