Westchester Forecloses UP 20% More than National Trend in 3rd Quarter

Posted on November 7, 2012 by John Bailey

WPCNR County Clarion-Ledger. From the Westchester County Clerk. November 7, 2012:

“The number of foreclosure filings in the third quarter of 2012 jumped from the third quarter of 2011,” reported Westchester County Clerk Timothy C. Idoni, who serves as Clerk of the Westchester County Supreme Court where foreclosure actions are heard. “However, these numbers fall below the historic highs seen between 2007 and 2010,” continued Idoni. The County Clerk added that he hoped the quarter was an aberration, with older cases finally being adjudicated as the year had been relatively positive until the third quarter.

The Office of the Westchester County Clerk reported five hundred and nine (509) foreclosure actions started between July 1^st and September 30^th of this year, as compared with four hundred and thirteen (413) during the same period last year. Sixty one (61) foreclosure judgments have been entered in the third quarter of 2012, in comparison to fifty one (51) entered during the third quarter of 2011.

David Buchwald clinches Assembly Seat. Photograph shows Mr. Buchwald appearing on White Plains Week, the city news roundup show last Friday.

“I am tremendously gratified and humbled by the faith the people of the 93rd Assembly District have placed in me to be their voice in our State government. I am particularly honored by the outpouring of support for me here in White Plains. It will be my distinct pleasure to represent our great City in a new capacity, and also to be an ambassador for eight other towns in the district, all of which are fantastic places to start a business and raise a family.

I am committed to bringing good paying jobs to the area, fighting to lower taxes and and representing our values. The hard work I know begins now, and in the meantime I want to thank all of my friends and neighbors who have helped bring about this great campaign victory.

I also want to thank Assemblyman Castelli for his service and for his gracious phone call to me last night. I hope to continue his work of reaching out to not-for-profits and community groups throughout the district. I very much aim to be an Assemblyman whom people feel provides a real connection between them and Albany.”

Westchester County unofficial Board of Elections results early Wednesday morning showed White Plains David Buchwald adding to his vote margin over incumbent Robert Castelli to 2,532 votes for the Assembly District 93 Seat with 88% of districts reporting.

As reported by WPCNR early this morning. Mr. Buchwald unofficially has defeated Robert Castelli for the 93rd Assembly District seat.

This morning Barry Caro, Mr. Buchwald’s Campaign Manager confirmed to WPCNR that according to their numbers, Mr. Castelli does not have enough districts outstanding to overcome the Buchwald margin . Mr. Caro in a written statement wrote WPCNR:

“We have results for everywhere but pound ridge and a couple of districts and are up 54-46 in our count.”

White Plains Councilman David Buchwald leading Mr. Castelli 22,532 votes (53%) to 20,073 when returns stopped being counted by the Board of Elections for the night at 12:45 A.M. has clinched the 93rd District Assembly Seat. A Republican source confided to WPCNR at 1 A.M. Wednesday they did not see Mr. Castelli overcoming the margin with the districts that are left last night and this morning Buchwald’s Campaign Manager confirmed that.

In the White Plains State Senate District 37, Assemblyman George Latimer (shown here at his last debate with Robert Cohen) has stretched his margin to 8,091 votes over Mr. Cohen, 47,862 to 39,771 with 81% of the vote counted and appears to have kept the Suzi Oppenheimer seat in the Democratic column.

In the other White Plains Assembly District (88) Amy Paulin will go back to Albany for another two year term, as she is unopposed. In the White Plains Senate District 35, Andrea Stewart-Cousins will return to the capitol, too, as she was also unopposed.
