All of our group that still reside in Yonkers I hope take an active roll in what happens in the city. Everything the politicians do should be what the populous benefit from. The only way to accomplish this is to let the pols know that you are alive and watching them. Yonkers has been on the incline since the people imposed term on the limits on the politicians (a move that should be done on the federal level) which has served the public by reducing corruption in city government. The best way to represent the interests of the public is to join civic groups since power is in numbers. As always keep safe and keep smiling.
