Members of the Westchester County Board of Legislators (BOL), led by Chairman Ken Jenkins (D-Yonkers), publicly condemned today County Executive Robert P. Astorino's continuing and willful disregard of the laws in the County Charter and those approved by the BOL. The issue of County Executive's repeated violation of the County Charter and BOL enacted laws came to a head today when the County's Acquisition & Contract (A&C) Board was convened illegally. Jay Pisco, whose nomination for the position of Commissioner of the County's Department of Public Works and Department of Transportation (DPWT) was rejected by the BOL, remained at the A&C meeting today after an opinion by the County Attorney suggesting the BOL vote was non-binding. Astorino's actions outside the law, sadly, are threatening all of the contracts and actions now purportedly approved by a rogue A&C Board—which could adversely affect or delay important infrastructure repairs and public safety program implementations.
