New Yorkers for Growth, a leading voice for responsible fiscal policy in New York State, endorsed Rob Astorino for Westchester County Executive this week. Pictured here are Larchmont Mayor and New Yorkers for Growth board member Liz Feld and Mr. Astorino at an event announcing the endorsement, held at Seaside Johnnies in Rye, NY.

In announcing the endorsement of Mr. Astorino, Mayor Feld said:

"Westchester County families are bearing the highest tax burden in America, and Rob Astorino will turn things around with smarter, streamlined government.  Today's taxes are the direct result of irresponsible fiscal policy at the county, state and federal level, and Mr. Astorino has the strength and energy to challenge those who drive our taxes ever-higher at every level of government. It is critical that Westchester residents  have a County Executive who will advocate for us, not just here in Westchester, but in Albany and Washington as well. Rob Astorino is that candidate, and New Yorkers for Growth is proud to make him its first endorsement of 2009. He is ready to challenge the status quo and lead this county forward."
