I was driving on the Merrit Parkway one night, when a State Trooper pulled me over. He said to me, "Do you know why I pulled you over?" "I have no idea." I replied. He said, "Your bumper is too rusty. you need a new one." I said, "I have one in the back yard, and will put it on this weekend." A likely story. I knew if he saw me the next week without a new bumper, he would give me a ticket. He shined his light around in the car, and on the seat next to me was my notebook for the class I was taking. The Stratford Police Civilian Academy. No ticket for Mikey.

It seemed to me the key point of moving the City Yard from the waterfront was to open up the…Read More waterfront and turn that run down and obsolete yard into a public park overlooking Long Island Sound. The westside site was the most cost effective place to move the yard. Not ideal, but no real alternative has been proposed. I don't think this has much to do with racism. All races can enjoy more of the waterfront. Any development around it will add to our tax base

Ms. Aronow, The issue is that an alternative has been suggested, Ward Acres, as it is much larger…Read More and strategically beneficial for the City of New Rochelle. I don't think the recent public discussions has resulted in unanimity in terms of the waterfront being an entirely public venue for all races to enjoy.
