By a 5-2 vote, the White Plains Common Council has approved a resolution calling for Mayor Adam Bradley's resignation. The vote comes nearly two weeks after Bradley was convicted of several charges in his domestic abuse trial. The Mayor was convicted of misdemeanor harassment, contempt and attempted assault but found not guilty of assault and witness tampering.

While the vote is one of no confidence, it has no binding authority to force the Mayor to leave office. The panel could only do so if he was convicted of a felony.

Under the circumstances, the only way Bradley could be forced from office is if he is removed by the Governor.

During tonight's meeting Bradley said despite the vote of no confidence, he has no plans to resign.

Hours after White Plains Mayor Adam Bradley appeared in court to face misdemeanor assault, harrassment and witness tampering charges against his wife Fumiko, five members of the White Plains Common Council held a news conference urging the Mayor to step down.
