Theres a lot of misinformation out there about the Citys fiscal state, Spano said in a press release. The goal of this site is to provide our residents with the transparency they deserve.
The site, at www.yonkerscontrolsspending.com, will include updates on the where the city stands financially, and each step that has and will be taken to get Yonkers through the crisis. The site will also feature issues that are being debated.
Spano used the announcement to focus on the current financial crisis in the Fire Department.

I encourage everyone to review the site to learn the truth of how we got here and what we are looking to do, he said.
