Len Spano and Tim Hodges are fighting it out to take on merante….
They don’t have a chance. Merante is loved by the 6th District.
Yes correct- he’s a proven tax fighter…… he didn’t vote for the single highest tax increase. WRONG. He did.
He’s one termer- good riddance Anthony.

If memory serves, I believe the ONLY vote against adoption of the budget was Councilmember Anthony Merante.— Kindly, Hezi
Maybe this year hezi , look back at the budget with the 7pct increase.
It’s no coincidence that he votes against a budget , the he himself chaired , an election year.

I was only speaking to the most recent budget, I stand correct ass I was not thinking of the previous budgets he did approve. I appreciate your informing me of my ommission. Kindly, Hezi
City should of put low income housing there.
Yonkers couldn’t afford the property. And it would still be better than a 24/7 factory.
Anthony Merante will take care of us.
It doesn’t take a rocket scientist… the mayor picks the Planning Board, the Planning Board pushed the project through without consulting with Merante, in his own district.
Merante for Mayor? That’s a good one. After the primary and general election he’s facing next year, he’ll be happy to kick his feet up and relax when he’s relieved of his duties.
He kicked Pagano’s ass. Merante runs the
Party.
No primary for the king of Yonkers.
He barely received more than a third of the vote and some guy nobody ever heard of almost beat him. King? Hardly.
Looks like Merante is leading the charge . First time he did anything since he been in office besides voting to raise taxes . Guess he is looking for his piece as well as Spano
Merante is the king of Yonkers. We love our counsilman and want to see him as the next mayor.
The Spano clan must have done well on this deal.
How is the Silly Council giving away it’s power to the Planning Board on a big project
which none of them are able to say exactly what the project is?
Makes no sense, no elected entity ever gives up power unless……??????
Oops the Yonkers.
Merante is doing a great job. He’s the Jibg of Yonkers. In Italian, Merante means leader.
Nobody cares anything goes if you got the $$$$$$$$ in yonkers.
Go get them Anthony Merante. You should be our Mayor.
How much property Taxes has that site paid in the last 20 years?
How much in property and other tax benefits has this site received in the last 20 years?
How much will this “development” pay in taxes over the next 20 years?
If you live in Yonkers these are the only answers you need….
How much will this property devalue the surrounding residential properties?
Ask Trump, he knows how to use these types of “devaluations” to write off taxes just like his property in Seven Springs Westchester. Better yet ask SpaNO, he won’t have a clue.
