WPCNR CAMPAIGN 2007. From White Plains Independent (Edited). July 1, 2007: In a news release sent to reporters Friday, White Plains Independent has announced that Marc Pollitzer has withdrawn from their bid for the Common Council. Pollitzer will continue in a role as Campaign Chair, the release said.

Activist Council Candidate Withdraws. Marc Pollitzer it was announced will not seek a seat on the Common Council in November. His former running mates, Robert Levine and Robert Stackpole will continue their campaign for the Council.

Robert J. Stackpole  and  Robert H. Levine have initiated their run for  Common Council as White Plains Independent (WPI) candidates, it was announced.

“ The purpose of our candidacy,” Mr. Stackpole stated, “is to insure that there will be a consistent, forceful, five-vote Council  majority––missing thus far–– that will reflect the grassroots interests of the people of White Plains.”

“ Too much is being lost,” Mr. Levine added, “as we see developers, rather than our city leaders, increasingly shaping the future of White Plains. The time has come to put a stop to the privatization of planning for our community. The time has come to take our city back.”

Marc Pollitzer will chair the WPI election effort, having chosen to withdraw his candidacy, citing the time demands of his business in NYC.
