WPCNR COUNTY CLARION-LEDGER. By John F. Bailey. March 11, 2008: In a vote scheduled for this evening on the county plan to purchase a building from a large political contributer to County Executive Andrew Spano, for the purpose of housing the headquarters of the Board of Elections, County Legislature Chair William Ryan of White Plains is urging fellow legislators to send the legislation back to committee for further study.

Mr. Ryan, speaking to WPCNR at 5:30 P.M., said the legislature discovered within the last 48 hours that according to a state law, the county cannot move the Board of Elections without a vote of the people. He said, in view of this, the county should not proceed with the deal to purchase the building. He said he was urging the legislators to not approve the proposal as it now stands.
