Yorktown Woman Faces Felony DWI Charge

Janet Protano, secretary at the supervisor's office, was arrested for drunken driving.

A 53-year-old Yorktown woman is facing a felony drunken driving charge after she was pulled over on Route 6 in Cortlandt on Dec. 28, 2012, New York State troopers said.

Janet Protano was charged with driving while intoxicated and has a prior conviction of drunken driving within the last 10 years, police said. 

Her blood alcohol content level was more than 0.18 percent, police said, resulting in an additional felony charge of aggravated driving while intoxicated.

The woman, a secretary at the Yorktown supervisor's office, was pulled over by police for "driving erratically" and not maintaining a proper lane, state police said.

Protano was arrested and scheduled to appear in the Cortlandt Town Court on Jan. 18.

First of all, I don't understand why teachers are paying for anything out of pocket when the supplyRead More lists that parents receive at the end of the summer are as long as their arms. Secondly, SOCIETY lets the kids down?!?!? I think the school taxes in Yorktown should be sufficient so that the teachers don't have to pay any out-of-pocket expenses. SOCIETY does not let the kids down, it is those who are in control of the school tax monies who let the kids down. Perhaps the administrators should take salary cuts, or maybe we should even eliminate some of those administrative positions. No teacher should have to pay for supplies out of pocket.
