WPCNR STARS AND STRIPES. June 6, 2003: Fifty-nine years ago this morning, thousands of troops stormed the beaches in Normandy, France in the largest invasion in history. The bloody assault against a heavily defended coastline, involving incredible courage and sacrifice by allied troops, landing craft, paratroops, signalled the beginning of the end of the Third Reich and the regime of Adolf Hitler’s Nazi Germany.

The quiet beaches of Normandy today, and the rows of white crosses in cemetaries around the little town bear silent vigil to the sacrifice of those brave men and women who fought, died, and triumphed this day 59 years ago today.

City Awaits Decisions From the Men in Black on NY Hosp, Delgado.

Posted on June 6, 2003 by John Bailey

WPCNR WHITE PLAINS LAW JOURNAL. June 6, 2003: The White Plains Legal Department reports that “all the briefs are in” on the Citizens for Open Space Article 78 lawsuit in Supreme Court to force the Common Council to reexamine their decision to permit New York Presbyterian Hospital to construct a biotech research facility and proton accelerator cancer treatment facility deep within its pristine grounds. The city has filed its “answer” to Attorney Thomas Wyatt’s motion to block the approval based on the approval being a violation of zoning. It is with the judge, and Corporation Counsel Edward Dunphy expects a decision in about two months.

Meanwhile back in Appellate Court in Brooklyn, the Appellate Court received the Attorney General’s rebuttal to Thomas Abinanti’s motion to dismiss the Attorney General’s Quo Warranto action on behalf of deposed councilman Larry Delgado as being filed past the statute of limitations for actions against the state.

Jeffrey Binder, Mr. Delgado’s attorney, lauds the Attorney General’s brief as being quite thorough going back to the 1700s in its summation of cases. Binder said he expects Mr. Hockley to be removed from the Council shortly by Judge Francis Nicolai, pending an expected Appellate Court denial of Abinanti’s motion.
