NEW ROCHELLE, NY (October 14, 2026) — In March 2024, Mayor Yadira Ramos-Herbert submitted a three-page response to an ethics complaint concerning her participation in matters involving Sustainable Westchester.
Two years later, a new review of that letter, the original complaint, supporting records and the Board of Ethics decision shows that much of her defense answered allegations that were never made while avoiding the central questions about her official authority, disclosure and recusal.
The case became a turning point in the Board’s handling of ethics complaints—and a newly issued Board determination provides an important update to what happened afterward.
