Chat With County Executive: Live 'Tele-Town Hall' Tonight With Astorino

Call in, or just listen from 7 to 8 p.m.

Want to ask how he is working to lower your taxes or any other question?

You have that chance on a live telephone town hall meeting hosted by Astorino tonight from 7 to 8 p.m.

To ask a question, or just listen in, call toll-free 877-228-2184 and enter event ID 19135.

Live audio of the tele-town hall will be streamed on www.westchestergov.com. To avoid excess Web traffic at the beginning of the call, listeners are advised to log on between 6:45 and 7 p.m.

Residents are also invited to submit questions in advance via email (askastorino@westchestergov.com) or social media. Use hashtag #askastorino on Facebook (facebook.com/westchestergov) or Twitter (@westchestergov).

 “The tele-town hall is a way for me to speak directly to Westchester residents and answer their questions,” Astorino said. “There is a lot to talk about. I will give an update on key issues and then answer questions.”

Last month, Astorino delivered his state of the county address, during which he detailed the substantial progress that has been made on all three of his priorities as county executive:  protecting taxpayers, preserving essential services and promoting economic growth. 

The full video of the speech can be viewed at www.westchestergov.com.

This event will be the fourth “Ask Astorino” tele-town hall.

Aidan ... your words are eloquent and true.

Hi, Thank you both for the feedback. Aiden, were you trying to post as a board message? There mightRead More have been some kind of technical glitch that our IT team is working out. In regards to your other comments, I urge you to give it a little time to get used to. The little bell at the top right of the page has a red circle with a number in it to tell you that someone has commented or interacted with something you have done so you should be able to go there and see exactly what is going on in the places where you posted. I hope this helps!

I agree with Aidan. I would check the Patch once a day for the articles, but several times to seeRead More how a discussion progressed. With the new format, that method is virtually impossible.
Aidan May 23, 2013 at 05:15 pm
Btw, I tried for twenty minutes to post this as a new thread ... I finally gave up because pageRead More after page did zero ... just spun me nowhere. A waste.

Linda T., I would guess Mrs. Brakewood lives in Port Chester if she is running for the Port ChesterRead More Board of Ed. Even if the schools had to impose an austerity budget, your taxes would still go up. The state has more control in these matters than you think.

Linda, the per pupil expenditure in PC schools is the lowest in Westchester and Rockland countiesRead More ... by about $2,000 per student. The issue is two fold. First, our property values are not as strong as our neighbors, so our homes have a higher levy in order to fund the schools. Second, and more important, is that the reliance on property taxes slams moderate income communities like PC. We need for the state to move to an income tax to fund schools. Scream at your legislators ... not the BoE.

I am concerned there is not enough attention to detail in the BOE budget overall and Mrs. BrakewoodRead More comment about keeping taxes affordable ... where does she live ? they are out of control and in my opinion the money we pay for taxes we should have the best looking schools anywhere ... just my opinion
