Statement by Westchester County Board of Legislators Chairman Ken Jenkins
March 9, 2010 - It’s important to understand that there is no active deficit in the FY2010 county budget.

Hiring was frozen, expenses were reduced and programs funded by state aid were adjusted.

Statement by Westchester County Board Majority Leader Thomas J. Abinanti
March 9, 2010 - We face serious challenges, but this is not new information to those who were involved in or monitored the 2010 budget process. I am concerned about County Executive Astorino's credibility in asking for sacrifice to control spending when he has already set the wrong example by increasing the salaries of his top aides.
