Yorktown resident and 99th Assembly District Candidate Dr. Steven Katz announced a 6 point plan today that he promises to implement if elected to the seat being vacated by Greg Ball.

About a thousand people are on hand this evening for Westchester County's second annual Tea Party that's being held at the Westchester County Center in White Plains.

Organizer Gary Murphy says the protest is not about party lines, but rather solidarity, with protestors calling for lower taxes and decreased Federal, State and local spending.

Protestors -- some of them even wearing tri-cornered hats evoking the Revolutionary Era-- chanted, sang songs and carried such signs as "Don't Tread on Me," "Shrink Big Government" and "Starve the Beast" in the peaceful protests. There were no arrests.

 Howard Hellwinkel of North Salem said "We are a group of people who are unhappy with the way Washington has been operating. We want to see the Country return to what the founding fathers intended."

A protest of a different kind is expected today, Tax Day, as Tea Party protests are planned across the Country as well as in Westchester County.

Tea Partiers are holding their second annual tea party at the Westchester County Center in White Plains. Organizer Howard Hellwinkel of North Salem says several hundred people are expected to be on hand for the peaceful demonstration. He says Tea Party members in Westchester are made up of a cross section of political leanings who are simply fed up with high taxes and rampant government spending.
