It's good to have two strong candidates. I think you both have worked hard and smart. Unfortunately, there is little to show, especially in downtown where I live. If anything, the quality of life has gotten worse, especially with all that ridiculous BUS traffic.​

I hope that specific goals will be set, which means things that can be measured and attained. That LCOR project (on Bank Street) took 8 years to start. Wasn't approval for 60 South Broadway done in the summer of 2015? The mall's been emptied out with no development in sight.

That's been a trademark of White Plains, going back at least to the silly hole in the ground created by the demolition of the train station (in the 1970s), best known for the police arresting "perverts" in the men's room. Trees started growing there before, finally, the twin towers, now known as 15 Bank Street, went up.

White Plains needs to do better. A lot better. Don't promise what you cannot deliver. Good luck to you both.
