YONKERS, NY – Yonkers City Court Judge candidate Dan Romano thanks #Yonkers residents who signed his nominating petition to appear on the June Democratic primary ballot and discussed the state of the Yonkers City Court Judge race.
“First and foremost, I would like to thank the countless volunteers and petition signers that have helped my name appear on the ballot in the upcoming Democratic Primary,” Dan Romano said.
“Our campaign was able to gather more than five times the required number of signatures, despite the challenges of a shortened petitioning period and the COVID-19 outbreak. As we look towards the June 23rd Democratic primary, our campaign is building momentum and continuing to engage residents with our vision for the Yonkers City Court.”“Despite the COVID-19 outbreak, our democratic system must continue in the face of this crisis, and I am unwilling to allow this virus to deter us from our fight for a better Yonkers City Court. I applaud Governor Andrew Cuomo’s decision to make absentee ballots more accessible for all New Yorkers this election cycle, and I strongly encourage Yonkers residents to vote on a mail-in ballot. My campaign is ready to assist Yonkers voters in obtaining an absentee ballot, and has a hotline set up at (914) 580-4114 ready to help.”
”“Lastly, I would like to thank our medical personnel, first responders, and everybody fighting on the front lines of the COVID-19 crisis. My thoughts and prayers are with all of the families impacted by COVID-19, and I encourage everybody to do their part by staying home, social distancing, and complying with the state and federal guidelines to limit the spread of this deadly disease.”

YONKERS – A little baby girl could not wait for her mom and dad to make it to the hospital on Tuesday, so she entered the world in the family vehicle on the shoulder of the southbound Sprain Brook Parkway in Yonkers.

Yonkers Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Edwin Quezada wants to take the easy way out and eliminate teachers in his new budget proposal.
The Yonkers school budget is tied in with the city’s 1.24 Billion budget
Superintendent Edwin Quezada says he is facing many uncertainties with the global coronavirus pandemic and he must decimate the teaching staffs at struggling schools, even though the mayor is giving him well over a half a billion bucks.
Mayor Mike Spano says his half of the of this year’s $1.24 billion budget preserves city services and positions, but it appears that Superintendent Edwin Quezada doesn’t want to cut the fraud waste and abuse in the schools to save teaching jobs needed by Yonkers students.
Superintendent Edwin Quezada says he his yearly poor budgeting skills has once again created a multi-million dollar shortfall and he needs an extra a shortfall of about $22 million more dollars from taxpayers
The only good news currently is that the combined city and school budgets comes with a proposed 2.8% increase in property tax which stays within the state mandated tax cap, but Superintendent Edwin Quezada’s desire for millions more could mess that up too.
