Yonkers Sixth District Councilmember and mayoral candidate Anthony Merante, a fervent proponent of Term Limits in Yonkers is holding a rally the Saturday, May 27th. Merante voted against extending the terms of the City Council and the mayor from 3 – 4-year terms to 4 -4 years terms which would total 16 years in office, nearly two decades!
Merante stated, “It’s my firm belief that only the voters should change term limits and not the City Council since it was the voters that instituted them. Therefore, it should be ONLY voters who have the right to change it by a ballot referendum. I intend to continue to work to get this referendum on the ballot in 2023. The voice of the people of Yonkers must be and will be heard!”
