Not defending anybody. If you think this guy should be arrested, then go file a police report and stop complaining on Reddit. The number is 914-377-7900. If you're in immediate danger, then call 9-1-1.

If you or whoever have problems with this guy, then OK. I'm sorry. But this isn't news about Yonkers. He's just some guy. You can start an "anti-Freddy Vasquez" subreddit and post all you like.

This isn't news about Yonkers. Nobody cares about Freddy Vazquez or Zehy Jereis. No matter how much he is paying you.

Does he need BOE help when he has city employees literally canvassing for him during working hours? Should change the campaign HQ to 40 S Broadway

Ditto. I just never paid.

Unfortunately, the vote went 4 to 3 to extend term limits. This was expected. However, the meeting was one of the craziest I've ever seen. This first part is the public comments:https://www.facebook.com/ykersvoice/videos/535039641772057/

But, you really should only watch this second half where the council members speak. It gets wild. Crying, yelling, finger-pointing, a literal fight breaks out and people are escorted from the chamber. It was embarrassing. https://www.facebook.com/ykersvoice/videos/978934573496768/

What's most odd is that the council president, Lakisha Collins-Bellamy, said she supports a referendum in 2023, but she's approved the fourth term extension now anyway. So, she's taking away your vote now, but will give it to you next year when it won't matter for Spano or Breen.

Nothing you said is wrong. But, why do we have term limits at all then? Why did the city voters enact/approve term limits twice? The point of term limits to to ensure that politicians can't snowball their power (as some argue the Spano's have) so that they are unbeatable.

For example, the head of the Yonkers Dem Party is the Commissioner of the DPW, who was appointed by, and reports to the mayor. The DPW also organized its employees to attend the rules committee meeting to support this term limits change (who appeared to be the only ones present who supported it).

While that's all legal, it creates unfair hurdles for any opponents. Term limits remove those hurdles.

This change is for the mayor and the council itself. They are voting to change their own term limits instead of holding referendums as has been done in the past. I've voted for Spano before, and nothing against the guy, but this is unethical.

If you cannot attend tonight, then I ask that you call or email both the city clerk, Vincent Spano, and the council members individually.

It only takes a minute to send that email. But, every one of them is important.

Please also note that the Yonkers DPW has instructed its employees to attend the hearing tonight in support of changing the term limits law. It's going to be a stark contrast of presumably ~50 city employees in favor, and a patchwork of however many residents against. So, we need every person to show up against the City's coordinated action suppressing our vote.

Thank you

Breen is in Aruba. Diaz is 100% voting yes. She is only on the council because Spano and Zehy put her there.

Only Merante and Corazon are hard "no"s. Maybe Williams as well. But, as you said, that won't be enough.

Best we can do now is raise a ruckus to show we don't approve of this and then pound this issue over the heads of Tasha Diaz, Breen, and Spano when they run again next year.

The city council wants to push through another term limit change to give Mayor Spano and themselves more terms. This petition is to reject that decision and instead put this item on a ballot referendum next year. We have to act fast otherwise the council will pass this in a 4-3 vote next Monday Nov 21, 2022

While this is a real answer, it's also funny because the whole Nolan family is also indebted to the Spano's. He gives them jobs and he put Jimmy on the county legislature to replace the old legislator that was from Bronxville that he couldn't control.

Change your last name to Spano.
