Council Overrides Amicone Veto and Passes Their Budget
The Yonkers City Council held a special meeting today and voted to override Mayor Phil Amicone’s veto of the city budget, which was amended by the council to include $7 million in cuts, and a reduction in the tax increase from 6.6 percent to 5.75 percent. The council cuts also eliminated the need to increase the unpopular income tax surcharge.
The council passed their version of the budget last week, with the mayor vetoing the budget this week, saying that he cannot sign a budget with the $2 million in cuts to police overtime.

Why has the Mayor still not given the Rio on the water their permit? It is getting nasty and people at City Hall will not like the way this goes…its taking a hard left. When you mess with a bull, you get the horns and they are sharp!
Mayor can’t help businesses, he can’t keep our City clean, he can’t keep our people safe and now he can’t even pass a budget. WORTHLESS!!!
cause he sucks
