Cuts Across the Board
Looking Ahead to 2009 Amid the Slicing and Dicing
By: Pat Casey
Published: December 23, 2008
What a difference 45 days can make. That was the general consensus at a special meeting of the Common Council held Dec. 17, as it became clear city revenues budgeted for the current fiscal year will fall short of projections and leave White Plains searching for ways to cover expenses.

Courage Under Fire
Neighboring Departments Pitch In at N. B'way Blaze
By: Michael Pellegrin
Published: December 23, 2008
The White Plains Fire Department has given “mutual aid” to neighboring communities 14 times this year, according to Fire Chief Richard Lyman, and was the beneficiary of the practice twice, most recently on Dec. 12, when the roof of 20 North Broadway was set ablaze, apparently by workers trying to dry the roof with a blowtorch.
No one was killed or injured in the blaze, but several dozen people were left homeless. Most found shelter with friends or family, but the Red Cross was on hand to assist. Many families learned about the blaze through phone calls left with parents warning that school buses could be delayed because much of North Broadway around the site of the blaze (across from Tibbits Park) was closed.
