Bedford Hills Fire Tax Higher Than Expected
The tax increase for the fire district was more than double the original estimates.

Before becoming a Patch editor, I was a freelance writer. Before that, I received my Bachelors degree from the University at Buffalo and Masters degree from New York University. After a brief stint in higher education, I served as the communications director for the National Academy Foundation, a national nonprofit in New York City. I love living in Northern Westchester, and think it is a special corner of the world. If I could just import a Wegmans from Rochester, life would be complete. I live in Cross River with my husband, Jonathan, and two children, Maxwell and Amanda, who both attend school in the Katonah Lewisboro district.
