Not necessarily true. When they have an accident and are hurt, it's the ambulance, fire, and police personal that must deal with it. People wearing sea tbelts are typically injured less than those not and are easier to extricate. I recall not being able to get a victim out from under the brake and gas pedals (!) and out from underneath the dash board of a big old American car years ago. The majority of ems and fire personnel are volunteers who use their valuable time to help these people. It puts them more at risk as they must spend more time addressing the victims. They are also the ones who must notify the families if there are any when they are killed or pureed. Its not like seat belts are a new thing. There is no viable excuse not to wear one. View Comment

My vote is for Ted Thomas, a man of character, integrity and caring. Your vote should be for him also. View Comment

I voted no not because I'm against it but because the most critical issue was left out of this story again. All of this construction and related paving will increase the impervious space, forcing water runoff into the already overburdened Saw Mill River, the 9A corridor and all the homes and businesses in that area. I'm against this additional overdevelopment until there is really a water management system that will send the water directly to Boulder Ridge or the Atlantic and spare Elmsford, Ardsley and the like from flooding. It doesn't matter how much revenue you generate if you are hurting existing residents. View Comment

Can they do the Bronx River in Greenburgh and south? Paul Feiner refuses to help them with flooding! View Comment

Mary Jane, you're the one who is brainwashed. Bush consolidated many departments, formed the Department of Homeland Security and mandated inter-agency sharing of information and resources - all of which our current president inherited. This president has been in office long enough now that you can stop blaming Bush for everything you don't like, don't have an answer for or simply don't understand. Bush's 8 years will prove out in history to be minor compared to the damage being done to America by this president. The only thing keeping your partisanship alive, is exactly that, blind partisanship. Time to open your mind to reality and get involved in fundamentally changing America back to America.

This is another example of another unqualified, non-resident of the suburbs speaking out of his a** about something he knows nothing about. Whether the bridge needs or doesn't need a mass transit component is not up to a city-dweller and billionaire to decide. I have no problem with adding mass transit. His comment that its needed and he doesn't care what it costs is easy because he has the money. We don't. He could pay for it and put his money where his big mouth is. Or, he could mind his own business and let the neighborhoods decide what they want and don't want. All these politicians are deciding our future for us and ignoring the people who live here. Do we need a bridge? Yes. Do we need a new bridge? Not sure, but when politicos tell us we need something, I'm doubtful. We are not looking at developing our suburbs into NYC or any other city. We have enough idiots in the Town already overdeveloping what little space is left with their skewed view of what our future should be. Just because Bloomie says it shouldn't make it so.

Clean up the Bronx River!!! View Comment

Perhaps if Robbie hadn't raised the parking fees and created an entrance fee more people would have visited it.They don't need multiple parks, but better usage of the space. Let's see what happens. Astorino will be gone by the time we find out. Unfortunately, the residents are always cleaning up the politicians messes. View Comment

And yet, David, there's nothing for Greenburgh. Do you even know who Paul Feiner is? Have you discussed helping his intentionally downtrodden town? Why haven't you sought to help them? Shameful! View Comment

It's getting very old and tiring doing your job. Since the amount WESTCHESTER is to receive is $2.7 million, and the county suffered $42 million in damage, HOW IS THE MONEY GOING TO BE USED and FOR WHOM? Will any money go to residents who suffered damage and are unable to tax anyone for money? Will they actually get help from the federal jokesters at fema? Why regurgitate the county and Loweys talking points without doing your job before you print something? View Comment

Once again the writing skills of the author of these articles are called into question. When the design was posed to the public, and votes given, why wasn't the additional cost mentioned then? Had the public been told there would be an additional cost, which makes little sense btw, they may have voted differently. And, is it purely aesthetics or is there a functional preference for one over the other? For instance, would rain, water, snow increase the change of rotting or metal fatigue on the flat top versus the angled one? Is this too basic a question for your stenographer to ask? Frankly, with all the hullabaloo, it's disappointing to be nickeled and dimed over this again. Now they want to add the mass transit option after making a big stink that this project just has to get moving. Typical politicians. Get it started and we can pork on anything they want. POLITICIANS LIE TO GET THEIR AGENDAS THROUGH! Wake up people! View Comment

And why no mention of the size of the property to the cost per acre ratio? Is it because Feiner and his board would be proven complicit with the Frank's Nursery property give-away to GameOn 365 if you did? C'mon Meredith, be a reporter, not a stenographer! View Comment

With the constant burglaries being committed in Edgemont, increased drug trafficking, gangs in the Town, shootings on the increase, thefts (TYCC) and more, I am relieved that we have an accredited police department who can be reactive to these events, the genesis of police work. Try to be more proactive. The police department is made up of good, honest, hard-working cops. Stop tying their hands and let the do their jobs. Accreditation is like a sunny day and work, nice to have a sunny day when you walk out the door, but you still have to go to work. So go to work. View Comment

Feiner isn't happy because now that something is being built in HIS backyard, it's bad for the neighborhood. Let's hope Mikey has the backbone to push this through. This couldn't happen to a nicer guy. View Comment

Very tricky how you captured the information you thought would sensationalize and grab attention. The study reveals so much more that Anthony chose to ignore. Plus, the poll does not list where NY or NYers might fare to the rest of the country. That said, who cares? If you were writing for real, and not in sound bite form, you could have reached out to the Westchester County AND NYS Health departments for more accurate and less generic information. But, this is FNN (Feiner Network News), where truth, justice and the American way are just words. View Comment

Prediction: After all the noise, the Town Board will make the sale of the property to GameOn 365. They will rationalize the sale as keeping their word, GO365 was the only company interested for a long time, the Town Board was proven to be acting illegally with a lease but wants to "make it up" to GO 365, they don't believe House of Sports is sincere (although publicly offering $3+M cannot be anything but sincere), it would eliminate competition by having one company run two facilities (watch out Pizza & Brew, CVS, Dunkin' Donuts) or simply, this was the best thing for everyone – quick, into executive session! When you are used to acting illegally, you simply won't care about the truth and will do what you want. NY1IMFUN is right: Sell it to the highest bidder! View Comment
