RYE TOWN - A local Democratic leader threw a jab at Supervisor Joseph Carvin last week, charging the newly elected Republican went back on his word in his first week in office.
"His big promise (in the campaign) was not to give out these no-bid professional service contracts," said Gary Stracuzzi, Port Chester's Democratic Party chair. "This is the fastest I've seen someone break a major campaign promise."
In his first meeting as town supervisor on Jan. 8, Carvin awarded no-bid hires to Sam Terenzi as the town's new accountant and Paul Noto as soon-to-be town attorney. Stracuzzi said the decision contradicted Carvin's campaign last fall, where he repeatedly blasted the past administration's use of no-bid contracts - critiques echoed by a New York State Comptroller's report on the town.....
