Conservatives Revolt Against Spano Endorsement!

Rob Astorino-leading conservative revolt

 

 

Rank and file Westchester Conservatives held a press conference this weekend to protest their Chairwoman Gail Burns and her decision to give the Conservative line to Andy Spano.

Many of the Conservative District leaders, and local town,village and city chairs, are refusing to collect signatures on Cons petitions with Andy’s name on it.

This means that Burns and her supporters will have to get the signatures themselves.

County Execuitve candidate Rob Astorino, who has the Republican and Independence Party lines issue the following statement:

 

“The Westchester County Conservative Party was hijacked by those who would put personal interest above fiscal reform.  Every person with knowledge of this race knows I am the fiscal conservative.

 ”Andy Spano’s spending policies are antithetical to those who care about responsible fiscal policy.  Mr. Spano raised property taxes almost 60% in the last seven years alone, and he doubled county spending during his 12-year tenure.  His budget is larger than the budgets of 87 nations.  Thousands of struggling taxpayers and small businesses have voted with their feet by moving to Connecticut to avoid the Spano taxes,” said Astorino.
