Democratic Majority votes to kill competition!

The City of Yonkers contracts with private towing companies to remove abandoned and impounded vehicles from the City streets. For years the City Code has limited the contract to only three companies at any one time. The Mayor this year proposed doubling that number, thereby increasing competition and, likely, lowering the price that the companies would bid to charge the City. In a nutshell, more providers, more businesses getting the work and a better price for the taxpayers. Inexplicably, in a party line vote orchestrated by council President Lesnick, the Democratic Majority voted the proposal down 4/ 3 at tonight's Council meeting. Winners: three towing companies; Losers: the Taxpayers of Yonkers.
