League of Women Voters, CNA denied Video and Recording of “Candidates Forum” Last Week

Posted on September 10, 2017 by John Bailey

WPCNR THE LETTER TICKER. September 10, 2017:

(Editor’s Advisory: The following letter was sent to WPCNR by Barry Caro, Mayor Tom Roach’s Campaign Manager, on the issue of the press being forbidden from recording or video taping the “Candidates Forum” held by the League of Women Voters and the Council of Neighborhood Associations last Thursday night. Persons attending with I-Phones however were able to stream it on Facebook live. The ban on photography, video recording and recording was not announced prior to the event to this reporter’s knowledge. White Plains Week on Friday night (See it on YouTube at this link https://youtu.be/ilh42gfyWT4 )reported on the banning of any kind of recording of the Forum that was posted on the desk prior to entry to the auditorium at Rochambeau School where the forum was held. In previous years the Candidates Forums usually held in the public library have received video and recorded coverage with no restrictions of any kind. This is the first time WPCNR remembers that a Candidates Forum sponsored by the League of Women Voters and the Council of Neighborhood Associations was not televised for the community.)

Hi, John and Pat,

Just want to make sure we prepped you for something in case it comes up, about the debate on Thursday.

The LWV and CNA made the call not to videotape the debate, and their ground rules prohibit anyone else from filming it. All four of our candidates would have preferred for it to be taped and then broadcast. The City had in fact begun preparations for it to be taped before the League told the city no and emailed to cancel the scheduled taping.

Our candidates all accepted the proposed ground rules as proposed by the LWV and CNA without requesting any changes to my knowledge – other than to include closing statements, which the League said no to.

One of those last minute things that always pops up, so I wanted to be proactive about making sure I told press about this before it became anything.

Barry Caro

(Campaign Manager for Mayor Tom Roach)

Comment on FASNY Situation After NY Post Article:What the Neighborhood Wants on the Former Ridgeway Property

Posted on September 7, 2017 by John Bailey

WPCNR THE LETTER TICKER. September 7, 2017:

Dear Mayor and Common Council:

In case you missed the September 4th NY Post article titled “Mariano Rivera join’s fight against ritzy prep school’s sprawling construction” . . .here’s the link: http://nypost.com/2017/09/04/mariano-rivera-joins-fight-against-ritzy-prep-schools-sprawling-construction/

Of interest the FASNY people still specialize in factual inaccuracies. . .such as ” the pre-K-through-grade-12 institution cut its number of students from 1,200 to 650 in an effort to appease the opposition”. The truth is that FASNY has not made any “permanent cuts”. . .all it did was submit an “incomplete” plan for only Parcel A and its Upper School. . .leaving out Parcels B, C & D and FASNY’s Lower and Nursery Schools.

And how would FASNY know if nearby residents “want a free back yard and want to keep it that way”. . .if no one from FASNY over the past 6 years ever asked what residents like ourselves want in the first place.

Unfortunately FASNY showed up in WP with the bad habit, like some of our elected officials, of telling residents what’s good for them. . .before ever asking residents in the first place.

Personally we would like to see a development on the old golf course property that. . .fits in with the WP Comprehensive Plan, the Character of the Neighborhood, the property’s current R1-30 residential zoning and follows NYS and WP Land Use Laws. . .where the property is well-maintained and respected similar to the surrounding tax-paying private residences. . .without bringing FASNY’s well-documented excessive Traffic Safety Issues, 10-year Construction, Flooding Problems and the massive loss of Open Space by building on 50+ acres.

FASNY’s current sub-standard maintenance, including their inability to remove algae from their 2 ponds, and a demonstrated lack of interest in acting like good neighbors says it all about how well FASNY will fit into White Plains. . .particularly when as a non-profit they are not contributing any tax revenues to help pay for City Services.

By the way. . .when can we expect a final FASNY vote?

Marie and Ron Rhodes
