08/05/07 - Get Ready For A Whopping Sewer Tax Bill. Rogowsky, Who Has Taken A Lead On Sewage Plant Issues, Puts The Figure In The Hundreds Of Millions



HEADLINE




STORY


A state order for Westchester to upgrade its sewage treatment plants near Long Island Sound has led to a debate over whether the county should have to do it at all, and, if so, who would pay the bill.

The county has suggested ways to improve treatment at the plants, but at the same time, representatives of County Executive Andrew Spano have asked Gov. Eliot Spitzer for relief.


Deputy County Executive Larry Schwartz stressed that Spano is eager to help clean the Sound, but does not want to hit taxpayers with a whopping bill....

STORY


At least two new candidates have emerged to challenge Town Supervisor Robert Morabito in the Nov. 6 election, including the man at the center of the federal voting rights lawsuit against Port Chester.


Besides Democrat Morabito and Republican Joseph Carvin, who announced their candidacies earlier, nominating petitions were filed last week with the county Board of Elections by Salverio Terenzi for the Conservative line and Cesar Ruiz for the Independence line.


A fifth candidate, Marcos Perez, filed a petition to run on the Working Families line, but later declined the nomination.....


...When contacted by telephone Perez, a friend of Ruiz's, said he was on the petition "because Cesar put me there." He said he did not have time to be town supervisor because he had a new job installing carpet that kept him too busy.


Ruiz also declined to comment for now on his reason for backing Perez and a slate of Working Families candidates.


In the race for two seats on the Rye Town Board, Jose Nieves and Ximena Alarcon are seeking the Independence line along with Ruiz.
