New Rochelle High School film students are getting some well-deserved recognition for their video tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Click below to watch the film, and here’s some terrific news coverage from New York’s Channel 11.
Today in Yonkers, Senator Chuck Schumer endorsed Noam, and explained what’s at stake in this year’s County election:
It’s not the smile that counts, it’s the record behind it.
Rob Astorino likes to pretend that he is a political moderate, but the facts tell a very different story. In fact, Astorino’s ultra-conservative record comes straight from the Tea Party playbook and is wrong for Westchester County.
Our new television ad exposes the reality behind the image.
Take a look and then pass it on.

Noam and Rob Astorino had a spirited exchange last night at the campaign’s second debate sponsored by the Westchester County Association.
Noam’s campaign is about controlling our overall tax bill, bringing jobs to Westchester, and protecting our environment. Rob Astorino’s administration has abandoned opportunities for smart planning, and set up our regional economy to fail. Noam wants to restore Westchester’s promise.
But it’s more than that. Public officials — at every level — should be responsible to stand up for our shared values, advocate for them, and act on them. But Rob Astorino refuses to accept responsibility for that part of his job. In fact, in two new TV ads last week, Astorino’s campaign called women’s health and gun safety “nonsense” and said Noam should be “ashamed” for bringing them up.

Of course these issues matter, it’s just that Rob Astorino’s positions are out of touch with Westchester’s mainstream values.
