WPCNR THE LETTER TICKER. JUNE 24, 2015: Mayor and Common Council, The writing is on the wall and it doesn’t appear favorable for the residents of White Plains. Initially I did not expect this outcome, anticipating reason and fairness to prevail. It is now obvious that the past 4 plus years has been a cruel charade. No matter the voluminous and cogent comments by your constituency contradicting the fiction FASNY has been dispensing, your obstinacy, arrogance, and lack of transparency is poised to grant a special permit to a school that does not belong here. Living in White Plains for fifty five years and in my cherished house on Dupont for 50 years I find myself at the mercy of a Mayor, the Common Council(minus two), and appointed officials who will be responsible for my premature departure from White Plains. I am proud to say that I served the residents of this city well for forty five years as a Cardiologist, eight of those years as Chief of Cardiology at White Plains Hospital where I was instrumental in supervising the new Cardiac Care Unit, training nurses, starting the first Echocardiology program in the county, chairman of the patient care committee and much more. It is infuriating for me to accept the fact that a handful of people are prepared to turn my life upside down by forcing me to vacate the house and community I love for specious reasons. Ron and Marie Rhodes have provided you with more than enough facts o deny FASNY their special permit. IF their letter last month has not given you sufficient reason then I have to assume that there is something rotten in the City of White Plains. Sanford S Zevon, M.D. White Plains, New York
