text: Master of Ceremonies Vincent Vesce, himself a former Peekskill Mayor, pointed out that Testa “was an outstanding Mayor who always put the people first and accomplished tremendous things for his community and now will do the same as County Legislator for District 1.” Also on hand was NY State Senator Vincent Leibell who lauded Testa’s “commitment, integrity and accomplishment for the people he represents.”
  County Executive Astorino remarked on Testa’s “outstanding record as Mayor” and how he is “relying on John’s experience, integrity and ability to get things done” to help him tackle the challenges that face Westchester County. Astorino noted that the County will run out of funds by the end of March and that the reserve funds were completely depleted by the former administration. “We face a difficult road ahead with many tough decisions to be made along the way,” Astorino remarked. “I know John is the right person for the job and he will be an important partner in helping get the County back on the right path to fiscal health.”
