Westchester County Executive Rob Astorino says in his 5/30/12 Ask-Astorino Tele-Town Hall (skip to minute 7:15) , “We’ve got to basically all band together and make sure that we speak with one voice to Albany…And there’s something…I think people should understand… you should go on online and get behind this movement. It’s a website called BEST4NY.org …a grassroots organization that has been popping up around the county. And it is an online petition that you can sign and it is demanding of the Governor and the State legislature to pass meaningful mandate relief to help ease the burden on all of our taxpayers and get local control as opposed to Albany deciding what we have to do.”
