White Plains Bravest Choose New Leader

The White Plains Professional Firefighters have elected Jim Donahoe as their new President, replacing Adrian Scapperrotti, according to WPCNR Fire Department Correspondent, Duncan MacRae. MacRae reports Mr. Donahoe edged out Scapperrotti by one vote.
Duncan MacRae, White Plains Firefighter, reports to WPCNR that Donahoe took the reins of the firefighters union as of January 1, by virtue of one vote in a secret ballot that was recounted three times. Donahoe was previously Scaperotti’s Vice President.
Asked about Donahoe's plans for the firefighters union, McLain writes,
“He wants to become more personally involved with the membership. He wants to be a physical presence rather than a voice on the other end of the phone or the sender of a fax.”
McLain was asked his own personal reaction to the departure of John Dolce, previous Commissioner of Public Safety, and what it might mean for the department, he writes,
“Well as we all know John Dolce was 'Public Safety' to a lot of people and politicians in town. He lost a bit of his luster with some politicians when he didn't support pay parity for police and fire. With his retirement, we hope that the city leaders can look at the structure
of the Public Safety Department.
McLain continued, "A separate police and fire commissioner are definitely needed. The demographic of this city is changing with its skyline. It would be in the best interests of the citizens if this were to happen and it wouldn't cost a dime."
