Democratic members of the Westchester County Board of Legislators pledged to conduct a "vigorous review" of County Executive Rob Astorino's proposed $1.76 billion budget for 2015, which was released Monday, Nov. 10. Board Majority Leader Catherine Borgia, a Democrat from Ossining, said, "We'll listen to what county residents have to say and make appropriate decisions regarding smart spending and cost-cutting to help save taxpayers' hard-earned dollars." Astorino's proposal keeps the county tax levy from rising for a fifth straight year by offsetting a 1 percent spending increase with cuts in county police overtime and early retirement incentives for up to 200 seasoned correction officers.
