LWV to Sponsor 'Meet the Candidates Night" at Mamaroneck Library

The Sound Shore community will have a chance to meet and chat with their elected officials on Wednesday, Nov. 28.

 

Although Election Night passed by in a haze of power outages and Hurricane Sandy, members of the Larchmont-Mamaroneck community will now have a chance to chat directly with the newly elected members of local, county and state government.

Sponsored by the League of Women Voters (LWV) of Larchmont-Mamaroneck, “Meet Your Newly Elected Officials' Night” will take place on Wednesday, Nov. 28 at the Mamaroneck Public Library Community Room (next to the Emelin Theater entrance) from 7-9 p.m.

It won't be a night of speeches though.

"[It's] Just an opportunity for citizens to chat informally with local elected officials; offer their congratulations; share stories and concerns after Hurricane Sandy and continue the process of working together to improve our tri-municipality," said a release sent out by the LWV.

The following elected officials will be attending:

NYS Senator (37th District) - George S. Latimer (D, Working Families)
NYS Assemblyman (91st District)- Steve Otis (D, Independence, Working Families)

Town of Mamaroneck Council Member - Jaine Elkind Eney (D)
Village of Mamaroneck Trustees - Andres Bermudez Hallstrom (D), Ilissa Miller (D), Leon Potok (D)

Town of Mamaroneck Justice - Ronald Meister (D)
Village of Mamaroneck Justice - Daniel Gallagher (D, Independence)

 

The current results are based on unofficial results from the Westchester Board of Elections. (BOE) pending an absentee ballot count.

Light refreshments will be served; no RSVP is necessary for the event.

Good question Allison, especially the STATE tax base. After all, Boston Post Road is a STATERead More highway, and any changes made to Boston Post Road will be decided upon and paid for by the STATE.

Well there is definitely more community disapproval with the current plans then there is support. ARead More possible suggestion for the developer may be to cut the plans from 120 units to 60 units with no more then 120 parking spaces . The community is worried about the proposed plan with the idea of adding 240 to 250 additional cars a day causing congestion with respect to traffic.The developer can set aside funds to pay for a daily rush hour bus to bring his new tenants to the trains to cut down on an increase in traffic. The developer to gain public approval should give up on any non access to private roads or it maybe in the interest of the community to make some of their roads which are currently public into private roads whereby no one heading to the golf course or the condominiums could cross these private roads thereby making access to the condominiums quite difficult. As far as a gain in the tax base. with any development where there are no tax abatements, it may appear that tax revenues may increase , however it may turn out to be a zero sum game, where the additional revenue pays for new public sector costs that will come with this project from garbage, water service, police , education, and any and all other public sector costs. With development it is better for the developer to become part of the community . Orienta has great characteristics. Many in this community would like the developer to search for the mean between the extremes with respect to development.

David , can you please explain how having a luxury condominium building increases the tax base?
