In a statement by the Mayor, released from City Hall, the Mayor said, "I am delighted to have Arnie join the Planning Board.  His knowledge and experience will be an asset to the board.  I am thankful that he has decided to remain involved in the future of White Plains."

There are no more vacancies on the Planning Board.  The vacancies were filled with Arnold Bernstein and John Durante.  Mr. Durante is a resident of downtown White Plains and a lawyer. 

Mr. Bernstein was denied the opportunity to run for a second term as a Councilperson on the Democrat slate due to his being perceived as too pro-developer on key issues. His bid to win a slot on the ticket in the Democratic Primary in September was unsuccessful.
