POLITICAL RUMOR: Vedat Gashi Has Gains Yonkers Mayor Mike Spano's Endorsement In A Bid To Oust Congressman Bowman DELIVERING NY'S THIRD LARGEST CITY: Mayor Spano And Yonkers City Democratic Committee ChairTommy Meier Will Hold A Fundraiser For Yorktown's Vedat Gashi YONKERS (WESTCHESTER COUNTY) NY: In New York’s redrawn 16th Congressional District, where freshman Rep. Jamaal Bowman is hoping to fend off a moderate primary challenger, the mayor of the district’s largest Westchester County City has waded into the race, backing the congressman's opponent. The Bowman-Gashi primary race follows a national pattern of contests pitting progressive candidates versus moderate ones, as Democratic voters choose between two different visions for the country. Vedat Gashi, an immigrant from the former Yugoslavia who currently serves as a Westchester county legislator and a Democratic district leader, is running a kitchen-table-issues campaign in the solidly blue district, contrasting himself with Bowman, who identifies himself with the “Squad,” a cohort of progressive lawmakers. Two other candidates — Catherine Parker and Mark Jaffe — are also running, but trail far behind Bowman and Gashi in fundraising. Parker has raised $145,000 to Bowman’s $909,000 and Gashi’s $462,000. No FEC filings for Jaffe were visible. Yesterday, former Rep. Nita Lowey (D-NY), who has also represented many areas of the redrawn 16th district over her 32-year tenure in Congress, threw her support behind Gashi, whom she called “young, smart, experienced, and hardworking” in a press release announcing the decision. Lowey’s endorsement is particularly surprising given her connection to Parker, whose late stepfather, Richard Dannenberg, was Lowey’s husband’s partner at the law firm Lowey Dannenberg. Former Rep. Eliot Engel, who represented parts of the Bronx and Westchester for more than three decades, is also endorsing Vedat Gashi. However, political insiders say that Gashi’s campaign trails Bowman in internal polling. The primary will take place on Aug. 23. https://westchester.town.news/g/white-plains-ny/n/115307/political-rumor-vedat-gashi-has-gains-yonkers-mayor-mike-spanos

MAYOR MIKE SPANO: Yonkers cops want a contract - but how much can taxpayers really afford? The Yonkers PBA unfairly accuses the city of stalling negotiations for a new police contract. It takes two to bargain, but the PBA’s idea of an acceptable contract is more than the hard-pressed taxpayers of Yonkers can bear. Here are the facts: The average Yonkers resident makes a little less than $35,000 a year, and the average household makes $69,825.

The average police officer in contrast currently makes $142,682.

Yonkers still faces a structural financial deficit, and the cost of salaries and benefits is the main reason for that. Three years ago, a New York state report noted that Yonkers has “unusually high labor costs”, and said until we get them under control our structural financial problems will remain. We can’t keep raising taxes to dig ourselves out. We are already the only city outside of New York City that has an income tax. Plus, we levy a transfer tax on everyone who sells a home. Those are in addition to our already substantial property taxes.... https://yonkersny.town.news/g/yonkers-ny/post/115173/mayor-mike-spano-yonkers-cops-want-contract-how-much-can-taxpayers-really
