Tom Roach Sworn In as Mayor Through 2013.

WPCNR CITY HALL CIRCUIT. Special to WPCNR from Carl Albanese. April 14, 2011:

Mayor Thomas M. Roach committed to have a transparent open government, involving more citizens and listening to ideas from the citizens, moving the city forward economically, and took the time to pay tribute to former Mayor Joseph Delfino for Mr. Delfino’s contributions to the city’s economic growth and transformation of the city.

Thomas M. Roach, Jr. sworn in at 6:58 P.M. this evening as the city’s 19th Mayor, as a crowd looks on. Mr. Roach won the Special Election for Mayor, held March 31,and will serve the remaining two years and seven months and two weeks and two days of resigned Mayor Adam Bradley’s term.(Photos by Carl Albanese)

Mayor Joseph Delfino was in the crowd on the steps of City Hall as Mr. Roach was officially sworn in as the city’s nineteenth Mayor. A few hundred people were present for the ceremony, followed by a reception in the rotunda of City Hall.

Mr. Roach gave a very sincere, open, positive acceptance speech, down-to-earth and non-political. I thought it was very humble and respectful. He expressed a great deal of appreciation to his parents, in-laws and his own family, wife and two sons, and his parents who worked very hard with sacrifices to give all their children a college education they did not have.

I thought that was very honorable of Mayor Roach to pay tribute to his parents and family raising him in White Plains.
