YONKERS PROUD: Mayor Mike Spano and residents welcomed a newly renovated basketball court at Barton Park called a Dream Court. It’s not only state-of-the-art, but it’s a much needed space that the community will be sure to enjoy

Dream Courts are top-quality, multipurpose, play spaces built in underserved communities so children have a safe area to shoot hoops, socialize and learn about teamwork and good sportsmanship

STATEMENT: From Mayor Mike Spano

“This court could not have been done without the many people and organizations that donated. Thank you to WNBA Hall of Famer, Nancy Lieberman, the East Yonkers Rotary, The Westchester School for Special Children and the lead fundraisers Tom Meier and Pete Spano. This is truly a great addition to the City and is demonstrative of the fact that when we all work as one, things get done.”

IDA GONE BAD: After Sucking The Yonkers Homeowner’s Tits Dry POP Displays USA Moves Over To The Westchester County Taxpayer’s Tits

The Yonkers IDA induces companies to invest their capital in major economic development projects

YONKERS: All of the politicians Were Celebrating When POP Displays Was Bringing Over 70 Jobs And Millions Dollars In Payroll To The City of Hills

SEE YOU LATER SUCKERS: Now the Westchester Industrial Development Agency approved POP Displays’ request on Feb. 14 for a $275,000 sales tax exemption for renovating and furnishing offices in Rye Brook.

The agency would also assume control of the property at 1 International Drive and lease it back to the company for 10 years.

Its pretty much the same kind of deal that POP Displays got from Yonkers taxpayers a decade before

Yonkers officials now claim that most of the employees were seasonal workers and were not necessarily from Yonkers

LOL… So why were they getting taxpayer giveaways

Pop Displays is owned by CounterPoint Capital Partners a venture capital firm in Los Angeles that doesn’t give a damn about Yonkers.

KHADER LAW PC: Mike Khader, Esq is representing “Yonkers Tribune” Publisher Hezi Aris Against two strategic lawsuit against public participation (SLAPP) brought by Yonkers Police Department Benevolent Association President Keith Olson

“Freedom is not free” is idiom expresses gratitude for the service of members of the American military, implicitly stating that the constitutionally protected enjoyed by citizens in our democracy are possible only through the risks taken and sacrifices made by those in the military, drafted or not.

COORDINATED ATTACK: Kieth Keith Olson’s First Amendment SLAPP lawsuit comes one week after Yonkers Police Department Deputy Chief John Mueller filed a similar lawsuit

FREEDOM OF THE PRESS: Attorney Mike Khader represented Hezi successfully against a similar suit filed by former Yonkers Fire Commissioner John Darcy.

FIRST AMENDMENT Many believe, now that Yonkers Police Department officers Keith Olson and John Mueller should not me seeking to abuse the court system to silence one of Yonkers’ many diverse voices and was the only media outlet in the city of hills to warn voters of Mayor Mike Spano’s behind the sceen moves to extend term limits with Majority Leader Michael Sabatino and Minority Leader Mike Breen

GIVE HELL HARRY: President Harry Truman had the best advice for thin skinned taxpayer funded public officials, when he said,”If you can’t stand the heat get out of the kitchen”

THIS IS A DISGRACE: Right now, brave young men and women are in dangerous combat zones like Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan defending the Constitution, the Bill of Rights and our American way of life only to have two thin skinned Yonkers Police Department officers make a mockery of their service with two coordinated First Amendment SLAPP lawsuits

FREEDOM IS NOT FREE: The ultimate sacrifices of truly brave young men and women should not be stained by public officials who would try to abuse the court system to silence the voice of critics by running up legal bills in a coordinated attack.

THE TRUTH IS: That brave young men and women who have paid the ultimate sacrifice roll in their cold graves every time a thin skinned public official files a SLAPP lawsuit to silence an American voice

Maybe these two thin skinned taxpayer funded Yonkers public officials should go visit the city’s Gold Star Mother Statue and remember they once swore to follow and protect the Constitution of the United States of America….. And that doesn’t include coordinated First Amendment SLAPP Lawsuits against a critic exercising his first amendment rights.
