This one looks clear with 65% of districts reproting Belmont's @ 2,164 v Walsh @ 1,285. Maybe the Beaver Brook Swamp ball fields will not be built.

with 48% of districts reporting Perez looks like the clear winner: 961 to Goldberg's 490. I don't get why anyone, let alone 249 people, would 've voted fro Alvarado.

What does election result proove: That the avergae voter in Westchester is either very, very dumb or so co-opted by a party or union that they actually can no longer vote for candidates that will improve the state of teh county. I mean- "we the people" collectively essentailly have said- we support the incumbents who have utterly brought the county to the state of insolvency. I honestly don't get it- and this has nothing to do with partisanship. Its just insanity.

I successfully ran for local election 4 times but in each one the BOE reported that I was running way behind my opponent. In one instance I received a "condolence" call from an opponent's supporter one asking me to concede. He saw the numbers posted on the BOE website and thought I was burnt toast.

Most interesting is that if the now-posted results stand, Boss Jenkin's will have lost his super majority as the Democrats look to have 10 seats and the Republicans 7. Could make for a much more productive - for the tax payer - year.

I'm glad to see someone else put on paper some of the reaction I have had to being required to pay a…Read More fee to park at WestMed. I think the fee is unconscionable! I was even more insulted when I received a tone-deaf response to my complaint about the fee from the head of WestMed. I understand that WestMed ended up paying considerably more for the parking facility than anticipated, but that's no justification for charging clients who have no choice but to park there in order to receive vital services. It's a gross insult to the patients. It's not our fault that WestMed had to cough up more dough. With new WestMed locations being opened every few months, clearly the company is not hurting financially. And, what's most ridiculous, is that they hired a staff of four or five parking attendants to issue tickets and instruct us how to pay for the parking! Why not use their salaries to help defray the facility's cost? You're right that it's pure greed because WestMed could have chosen to recoup the cost more slowly and not charge a fee. When I expressed my displeasure about the fee to my doctor, he posed an interesting question: when the facility's cost is paid off, will WestMed continue to charge for parking? By this time, WestMed has certainly recouped enough of the cost to make a dent in the overall expense. It's time to get rid of the fee and restore some dignity to what used to be a fine organization. In the past I heartily recommended family, friends and many others to WestMed. Now, I've got a very nasty taste in my mouth about WestMed! Shame on you, WestMed!

It's not true that parking is required. You could do as I do and walk there (assuming it is…Read More actually the White Plains office you are referring to and not Harrison), or take a bus, or a taxi, or have someone drop you off and pick you up. And if you aren't happy with their service, go somewhere else. There are lots of doctors not affiliated with Westmed.
