YONKERS, NY -- September 30, 2013 -- The skirmishes were meant to diminish all hope for Grace Boranni to survive the legal contests to get her anywhere near getting her voice heard, much less garnering one vote were she not to gain a political line upon which to hang her hat. The political newcomer, a registered Republican, contested the republican designee but failed to dislodge him from holding onto the party designation. The next challenge, still awaiting authentication or denial of validity, is the outcome of the Opportunity to Ballot in which Liam McLaughlin, the Republican designee had hoped to eclipse her supporters with a write-in coup. Rather than hope for a positive outcome, recognizing that final say would reside in the hands of the Westchester County Board of Elections (WCBoE) to which she had no further say, she solicited the WCBoE for the right to launch a new party she has named, the "Every Vote Counts" Party. Grace Boranni, no matter  the outcome of the Conservative Party standing to be attested to by the WCBoE, Boranni will be on the ballot. She intends to challenge the wo contenders to that end in the November 5th General Election. She is vying to serve in the capacity of Yonkers City Council President... She is a first time political office contender.

“A shutdown of the federal government would be bad for the United States, bad for New York and bad for our already struggling economy. The political gamesmanship being shown in Washington serves no one. It’s time for leaders of both the House and the Senate to forge an agreement that will avoid a costly mistake of shuttering important government services and furloughing hundreds of thousands of public servants, while finding responsible solutions to the broader fiscal challenges that lie immediately ahead.

Yonkers City Council Minority Leader and Legislation and Codes Committee Chair John Larking is to convene a Legislation and Codes Committee Meeting on Tuesday, October 1, at 5:00pm, in City Hall, in the City Council Chambers, 4^th Floor, City Hall.

MUNICH, GERMANY -- Even as a young girl, Munich native Sieglinde Föhringer worked as a waitress at the Oktoberfest. After twenty-three years in the job, she knows the Wiesn, as the locals traditionally call their public festival, like few other people. The enthusiasm appears to be catching as both her daughter and son have also been servers for many years in Paulaner’s Winzerer Fähndl marquee, which with seating for more than 8,000 is one of the largest and most popular venues at the festival.

When something important happens, it often happens first in California. It is therefore unsurprising that the Golden State is where a national age of reckoning may hit its stride.

I call it the Era of Broken Promises.
