I received this in an e-mail message from CNA:
The candidates for White Plains Mayor -- Tom Roach, Bob Hyland and Glen Hockley -- will take part in a live, TV-style debate on Wednesday evening, March 23, 2011 at 7:30 pm in the Ridgeway School auditorium. You're invited to attend and participate! Please come early to get a good seat.
I guess they couldn't find a place further from downtown. I've noticed in the Highlands signs for Hyland. Hey, that's as good a reason as any to vote for one of them.
I won't vote for anyone for Common Council who lives in a house.

The White Plains Council of Neighborhood Associations (WPCNA) in coopoeration with the White Plains Concerned Citizens for Open Space (WPCCOS) will sponsor a Mayoral Debate on Wednesday, March 23 in the Ridgeway School auditorium at 7:30 pm. PLEASE MARK YOUR CALENDAR!

Question:
Should White Plains move away from its dependence on retail sales tax to avoid the regular boom/bust economic cycles?
And then this:
Should White Plains have district based voting to ensure that downtown residents are properly represented since almost all council members and you three candidates live in houses in the suburbs of White Plains?

Public Library: is it worth the money?

This is the only way I could find to send a simple message. The New York Times has a major article today about e-books and public libraries yet I cannot find anything that indicates that WP has any e-books. Please clarify. Thanks.
Uh, oh.
I guess not. It's difficult to say which is more of a waste of taxpayer money and more oblivious and beyond scrutiny: schools or libraries.

David Buchwald: run for mayor!
I know of two candidates so far running for mayor of White Plains in the special election: council member Tom Roach and former member Glenn Hockley.
David Buchwald is a new member of the Common Council. He lives in a downtown condo and is young and smart and would understand the dynamics of living downtown as opposed to those living in a house in a White Plains suburb, which is what we'd get with Roach or Hockley or probably anyone else who decides to run.
David, seize the moment! Run for mayor of White Plains. Get those signatures signed and get on the ballot. Failing that start a write-in campaign. The new voting machines make that much simpler. I'm convinced that people can get elected by promoting their candidacy on the web, despite not being on the written ballot in the voting booth, especially for local office.
