Yonkers Insider: Statement from Michael Khader.

 

It appears that the Yonkers Inspector General's office, led by Liam McLaughlin, whom I defeated in the race for President of the City Council, paid for and managed this report. He is once again using his office as a tool for revenge and political intrigue. A city-funded "report" that neither I nor my attorney have received, but is circulating on the internet, is now attempting to revive false and baseless allegations against me. The timing of these unfounded reports is highly suspicious and indicative of another political witch hunt aimed at discouraging effective, honest, and promising citizens from running for office.

Though the primary isn't until next summer, it seems the "silly season" has started early for some. Yonkers has long been mocked as "the city of hills where nothing is on the level," and it's due to dirty political tactics like these that seek to intimidate potential candidates, misuse public tax dollars for political gain, and misinform the public. It's time to rid Yonkers of such practices and focus on the important issues that affect the good people of our city.
