Ward System Proposal Scrutinized At North Castle Forum

The pros and cons of two referendums that would change the composition and size of the North Castle Town Board were discussed at a forum on Monday night, Oct. 6. The proposals, if approved in November, call for electing the board's council members by wards instead of at-large, along with adding two council seats. Panelists included Tony Futia, a North White Plains resident and former town employee who pushed for the referendums; former North Castle Supervisor Howard Arden; former Port Chester Mayor Dennis Pilla; and former New Castle resident Manny Areces, a supporter of a unsuccessful 2011 vote for a ward system in that town.
