Meet Mack — A Goofy American Staffordshire Mix

Mack is looking for his forever home.

From the SPCA of Westchester:

This big goofball loves everyone!

Poor Mack had a rough start at life, basically neglected by his previous owners.

He is young, around 2-years-old, and still acts very puppy-like!

He is an American Staffordshire mix.

Luckily, we were able to get him to the SPCA and he is such a happy boy!

He needs some basic training, but other than that, he is amazing!

Due to his size and strength, older kids would be better.

See here for more information about the SPCA of Westchester or call 914-941-2896 ext. 22.

There is nothing respectful about Mr. Valenti. While telling us that everyone else uses ugly and…Read More negative campaigning, he forces his message down our throats with his constant badgering and pushing. And, while I do disagree with Mr. Agona at least he is a voice less heard, however a home buyer will definitely think twice when seeing that our schools are not ranked at the top, but our spending is. A home buyer would definitely think twice when seeing that our board went against the levy and asked for more. A home buyer will think twice when seeing that our board underhandedly appointed a superintendent with out any notice to the community of a vacancy. These are trustees, but how can we trust them. With regards to understanding the budget or not, a home buyer only sees the surface and there will be NO TRUST in this community if we do the wrong thing.

Empty Nesters and everyone else: I respectfully disagree with Mr. Borrel on his post. There are…Read More many reasons behind why the budget proposal by the BOE and the administrators exceeds the tax cap guideline. I ask that you check my wife’s posting in the Patch for more insight but I will not repeat here. From personal experience, my perspective is that young parents looking to buy a home will research many things including the community support for the schools. It is fairly common to look into school board budget voting as an impartial indicator of the community's support. Imagine you are deciding between towns X and Y and then you hear that town X voted down the budget. You won’t research any further if this is important to you. You will move on to another place where there is more support. Please consider this into your decision when voting today. A vote for the budget approval will do a great service to the protection of our real estate values, not to mention preserve educational excellence in the eyes of the experts we are currently paying to make those recommendations. I believe most Briarcliff residents will agree with me as evidenced by the fact that there has not been a budget rejection by the public in decades. I would also like to personally congratulate the current Briarcliff BOE trustees for being the only school district in Westchester County to propose a lower budget than they did the prior year. Vote YES to the proposed Briarcliff budget. Vote JON SATRAN and SAL MAGLIETTA for BOE trustees.
