WPCNR MR. AND MRS. AND MS. WHITE PLAINS POLL. November 2,2009: All right. Have you noticed that the persons running the county and virtually all the Assembly Districts and the towns, with a few exceptions are men? Have we noticed that only Mary Ann Keenan and Rita Malmud and Pauline Oliva, and now Milagros Lecouna, and way back, Joyce Gordon and Jo Falcone even served on the Common Council?
Well, given the lousy shape the city of White Plains is in, left by the men who have dominated the Common Council and the Mayor's Office the last eight 12 years, is it time, when the city is in the alleged $20 million deficit, taxes going up with no end in sight, accessibles dropping like a rock, and the school budget soaring (with women on the school board, mind you -- but no woman Superintendent of Schools), is it time to consider if women would do better jobs of budgeting, make smarter cuts, make better management decisons, and perhaps be less tolerant of whining "operators" who want special favors and throw money at the city or into campaign chests?
Would women do a better job of managing the city financially and managing its services?
Vote in the poll at the right.
