Walker Attempts to Undermine Mount Vernon Mayor Young BY Hezi Aris

Mount Vernon, NY, August 10, 2010 --  Mayor Clinton Young, Jr.’s administration held the line on the 2010 municipal budget as best they could, capitulating  despite all efforts to an increase of 3.495 percent, the lowest of any city in Westchester County. Busily preparing for the more onerous challenges of the FY 2010-2011 budget, the administration has conducted regular meetings with city department heads  emphasizing cost-cutting measures, spending reductions, and greater efficiency.

‭“Last year, my administration went to great lengths to provide Mount Vernon’s taxpayers with what turned out to be the lowest municipal tax increase of any city within Westchester County,” said Mayor Clinton I. Young, Jr. “This year, our budget preparations are well underway for 2011 and once again the tax burden is our highest priority as we look to spend less and become more productive.”
