Posted on June 18, 2004 by John Bailey

WPCNR ALBANY LINE. June 18, 2004: Assemblyman Adam Bradley of the 89th District advised WPCNR by telephone today that the Senate version of the homerule resolution requested by White Plains authorizing dissolution of the White Plains Parking Authority has been passed by the New York State Senate. Mr. Bradley told WPCNR he expected it to pass the Assembly Tuesday, then the legislation would need to be signed by Governor George Pataki.

The dissolution bills appear to be on schedule to terminate the White Plains Parking Authority before June 30, in order that the $7-1/2 Million Parking Authority fund balance can appear on the City of White Plains books putting the city on a more cosmetically sounder appearance to bond-rating agencies.
