The answer quite frankly is nothing. That’s what has people so  furious.

“I intend to do whatever I can to not just call attention to all the reckless spending that’s going on, but by working with others in and out of government at all levels to do everything we can to stop it,” Ahmed says.

“The same goes for taxes. Everyone’s aware that New Yorkers pay the highest state, county and city income, property, sales, capital gains and inheritance levies in the nation - that people are moving away in droves from Westchester as well as New York City.

WHAT'S INSIDE...

Plans to work with others inside and outside government to stop what she calls “reckless spending.”

He continues the advocacy started by Ms. Spreckman for senior citizens and looks forward to helping keep Westchester County a safe, affordable and thriving place for all to live.

In 2022, the Board introduced and I sponsored the amendment: The Senior Citizens and Persons with Disabilities Home Owner’s Tax Exemption. Residents 65 years of age or older whose combined annual household income is $29,000 or less now qualify for a property tax exemption. Under the proposed amendment, the combined annual household income would increase to $50,000, thus benefitting more seniors across Westchester. 2023 saw this new tax benefit go into effect.

### Seniors

Seniors deserve tax relief and prescriptions, expand home care, housing, transit, and senior centers, and crack down on scams.

### Public Safety

Dedicated to protecting communities by supporting law enforcement, promoting crime prevention, and ensuring safe environments for all residents

Another initiative that I was proud to support, is the Stop-Arm Camera program to protect our children. No parent should have to fear for the safety of their child while picking them up from school or having them dropped off. It is my hope that this new program deters those who would pass the Stop-Arm on school buses and reduce the threat to the safety of parents and their children, by imposing escalating fines on those drivers who would violate the law.

As we strive to improve our infrastructure, we must always keep in mind that these decisions have a meaningful impact on the quality of life for our constituents. That is why, in cooperation with my colleagues, I was proud to vote on and pass legislation to improve the West 3rd Street Pump Station in the City of Mount Vernon. This legislation creates an Intermunicipal Agreement (IMA) between Westchester County and the City of Mount Vernon for the West 3rd Street Sewer Project. Under this IMA, the County will coordinate with the City of Mount Vernon and partners in New York State Government to fund and design the construction of the West Third Street Pump Station and Sanitary Sewer Project. This project will serve to address the discharges of raw sewage and other pollutants from storm sewer systems into the Hutchinson and Bronx Rivers. Additionally, the improvements on the pump station will serve to assist areas that are prone to persistent flooding.
