At last year's event, Bramson said the worst of the recession "is behind us, finally giving way to a season of fresh promise."

He said he believed New Rochelle managed the recession's impacts better, or at least as well as, other comparable communities.

"I am proud of all that our public workforce, from our managers to our employees in the field, has done to squeeze savings out of every department and accomplish more with less," Bramson said.
