"I wanted to thank you for the fantastic article you did on the Riddell Bowl! Outstanding and reminded me of the old Grantland Rice days when football was reported in such a great way. The kids appreciated the entire article and the most professional way it was done."

Calls for new voting machines to prevent future jams.
The head of the White Plains Democratic Party City Committee calls for the new 6-0 Democratic Common Council to install new “high tech” voting machines for the city as a major priority on their agenda to avoid future voting machine counting problems (in light of the Court of Appeals decision).
Mr. Bradley appears as a guest on WPW to discuss the historic decision which he argued, that decided the White Plains disputed Councilman election after 128 days. He is interviewed by John Bailey, the White Plains CitizeNetReporter, Alex Philippidis, Editor of Westchester County Business Journal and Jim Benerofe, Editor of Suburban Street.com.
In a freewheeling analysis of the implications of the Court of Appeals decision, Mr. Bradley discusses the quo warranto process of approaching the Attorney General. Quo warranto is the only avenue remaining open to Larry Delgado to pursue a remedy to the jammed voting machine in District 18. The Court of Appeals, responding to Mr. Bradley’s argument of February 14, reversed the Trial Court and Appellate Court decisions calling for a new election in the city yesterday.
Their unanimous ruling allowed Glen Hockley to be sworn in as the sixth Common Councilman at 12:15 PM last Friday.

New Assembly District Guidelines: primary of Matusow threatened.
Mr. Bradley also discusses the proposed new Assembly Districts released by Albany that move present Assemblyperson Amy Paulin more into Scarsdale and New Rochelle, and gives Naomi Matusow, Democratic Assemblyman for the current 89th district, most of White Plains.
Bradley outlines the circumstances in which he feels White Plains Democrats might primary Ms. Matusow who is up for reelection this fall.
Bradley remarks that he hopes Matusow will change her traditional opposition to sales taxes, and support the sales tax White Plains needs, in order to avoid a 30% property tax increase.
The City Committee Chair said that he hoped Ms. Matusow, a 10-year Assemblywoman, would listen to her new constituents' concerns and support the White Plains 1/2% sales tax, otherwise he would have to give strong consideration to putting up a candidate to primary her.
The White Plains Week program is cablecast Friday evening at 7:30 PM on Public Access Channel 71.
