A resolution sponsored by Councilman Anthony Merante and Councilmember Mike Breen, Minority Leader which was initially introduced at the Yonkers City Council Rules Committee Meeting on Tuesday, February 2, 2021 and was brought to a vote at the City Council Meeting today, Tuesday, February 9, 2021.

The resolution was send back to rules over a disagreement over the wording. Should it be adopted, perhaps two weeks from today,  it would be a strong message to Albany lawmakers that Yonkers and numerous Italian-American organizations are vehemently opposed to terminating the Columbus Day holiday by pending legislation in NYS Assembly Bill # A2492 and Senate Bill # S2759.
