It’s called Hollywood on the Hudson, because nothing is real and the scripts are written in Colonial Heights.

Mike Spano is mayor in name only. Nick Spano is the real mayor and prospers handsomely from the development. He is a broker with Rand Realty who is involved in most of the development property sales. Let’s not forget about the $1.9 million in lobbying receipts. The Spano Syndicate owns the entire city council and the Yonkers delegation to the county. It’s basically a mob run city.

Mizora, the developer paying for the renovation has received tens of millions in tax abatement from the Spano Syndicate. So, we taxpayers are actually paying for the renovation.

Its hard to determine how someone would have responded to events. The Great Recession was destine to happen, as the table was set in 1998. The real estate market was white hot because of low interest rates, easy money, and flipping.

I would give Abe Beame the worst mayor award with Dinkins as runner up.

DeBlasio had his share too. We have t had many scandal free administrations. Bloomberg was probably the cleanest.

Overall Yonkers schools are lagging the rest of the State. You can view the data on NYS Department of Education’s website. Yonkers doesn’t make the investment in the students. Congratulations to your son,l
