WPCNR CAMPAIGN 2020. By John F. Bailey. April 9, 2020:

Governor Andrew Cuomo Wednesday announced that absentee ballots would be available as a voting alternative for voters not wishing to appear in person at the polls for the June 23 primary for state, local and presidential elections because of the danger of exposing themselves to crowds at the primary places. (Though at this time, since Bernie Sanders has pulled out of the Presidential race, there may not be a Democratic Presidential Primary. Unclear at this time.)

In order to obtain an absentee ballot, each registered voter wishing to vote in the primary for the Democratic nomination for the House of Representatives, the 17th Congressional District, being vacated by Congresswoman Nita Lowey, where 12 persons are contending, and the 93rd Assembly District Seat representing White Plains and south to Yonkers, and northeast to Bedford, where 5 persons are in contention the procedure to obtain an absentee ballot is as follows.

You must fill out an application requesting an absentee ballot.

According to the Board of Elections, whom I contacted to request my absentee ballot this morning, you can request any number of applications by calling the Westchester County Board of Elections at 995-2000 and asking for the Board of Elections, listening to the “prompt” and pressing the number for absentee ballots.

Or you may drop in in person at 25 Quarropas Street, White Plains NY 10601, and fill out the applications in person., or mail a request for absentee ballots to that address c/o The Board of Elections

The Board of Elections will mail the applications to you to complete for the absentee ballots one per person, for either the Presidential or State and Local Primaries, or both.

The Board of Elections will mail you the applications. When you receive them, you and other voters wishing to vote by absentee must complete and return them and the Board of Elections will send you absentee ballots by return mail. You may request applications for any registered voters in your family.

The Board of Elections told WPCNR this morning the absentee ballots will be mailed out by March 23, approximately one month before the primary.

MAYOR ROACH MESSAGE TO CITY: HERE’S HOW TO GET FOOD SUPPLIES. GO TO [email protected] 485 CORONAVIRUS CASES IN WHITE PLAINS.

Posted on April 8, 2020 by John Bailey

New York state now has 149,316 cases. The total number tested in the County is nearing 50,000 and the positive number of cases in the county is 15,887. The municipality specific data we received from the county today indicates 485 positive cases in White Plains.

Today I had the opportunity to tour the temporary hospital at the County Center in White Plains with County Executive George Latimer and our Fire Chief, Richard Lyman. It is an impressive facility with fully equipped individual negative pressure patient rooms that are capable of serving as ICU beds. The hospital is within our city and we are working closely with all involved to ensure it is on line as quickly as possible.

White Plains is a community of neighborhoods. Please check in on your neighbors who might not be able to go to the store to get food.

Please reach out to: [email protected] if you can afford food but are homebound and can’t arrange delivery or if you can go out, but are having difficulty affording food we can put you in touch with the many ongoing food distributions taking place throughout the city.

A reminder regarding the sanitation schedule. For those of you who are on the Friday garbage route, your garbage will be picked up tomorrow, Thursday, due to Friday’s holiday. If you are on a Thursday collection route your next pick up is Monday. There is no paper pick up this week. Normally we would have reminded you yesterday, sorry for the oversight. I can’t wait to get back to a time when that is the reason for my call. We would also suggest that you download the White Plains DPW, At Your Service App and set the preferences to allow automatic reminders.

We are making progress, stay with it!

And to all of our friends celebrating, best wishes for a happy and meaningful Passover.

Remember we are standing together by staying apart!
