Primary Results: Katz Defeats Gristina

Conservative, Green, Independence and Republican lines made up the ballots. Incumbent Assemblyman Katz was the apparent winner in Thursday's Primary election.

"Unofficial" results listed on the Westchester County Board of Election's website Thursday night showed a primary victory for incumbent Assemblyman Steve Katz (R-Yorktown) over Dario Gristina (R-Putnam Valley). 

With 81 percent of Westchester County districts reporting, Katz had scored 60 percent of the 836 votes people cast for the Republican line. In Putnam, Katz also appeared to have defeated Gristina with 920 of the 1,398 votes. Republican Dario Gristina scored 456, or 32 percent, and the rest—22 votes— were write-ins.

Katz also took the Conservative line in Putnam, with about 84 percent of the 95 votes. 

Andrew Falk, of Patterson, is running against Katz, as the Democratic candidate in the November general election. 

The  includes Yorktown, Somers, Patterson, Southeast, Carmel and Putnam Valley.

The fact that gristina got so many votes is disturbing and shows how lttle peolpe value morals nowadays. This lowlife should be shunned by all, and not embraced by any, Same goes for the reptile Ball.

Mr. Lachterman, You wrote "When Councilmen Bianco, Paganelli and Patel decided that theRead More Winery did not have the right to have a public hearing on their wetlands permit, they drew a line in the sand between personal interests and all business, large or small, in Yorktown." The wetland permit was NOT for the Winery. It was town land that we--the taxpayers--own. It's not "their" permit. Do you think that we should give away--for free--any town park/wetland to any business that asks. I'm not against working out an agreement whereby we charge the winery to develop parking and an outdoor cafe seating area on our (Yorktown owned) land. But you can bet your bottom dollar that I would want to codify it with a lease and charge him market rate for it. Capitalism, not communism. Those councilman made the right choice. It looked and smelled like a giveaway to a political ally of the supervisor. The winery had no inherent right to a public hearing on what we, the taxpayer, do with our land.
