  1. This is from Westchester Magazine? ( I read the article)
    I am shocked that Westchester Magazine would have a bad word to say about New Ro. Especially after all those articles telling me what a great place NR is to live because of restaraunts, open space (Think Flandreau Park) and diversity. Now we are a poster child for abandonded dreams. How did this get published? Westchester Magazine did you not let the Mayor edit the article before it went to press?
