Breen relayed the fact that her husband was supposed to have been elected rather than John Murtagh. He became a good “boy”! He kept his mouth shut, voted as he thought he should! Mrs. Instead, he has served himself and his family by acquiescing to do all he thought he needed to do to gain favor. To help define the “ Yonkers Way!”, we engage in a retrospective that defines a “do nothing” sycophant that has “served”, perhaps we should say, has “never served” the district he espoused he would. The 2022 political season does reveal the historical perspective that comports to what many have long gleaned. Some are intentioned to serve the public interest, others are intentioned to serve themselves, and some will be able to game their electoral win with a little of this, and some of that. We are presently afforded an opportunity to better define “reality” because we are presently immersed at the cusp of the political season. The concepts espoused so far require definitions that will either be recognized or not be believed. The opening paragraphs may seem true to some, possibly on target to others, and a conspiracy theory to others. The stepladder to success in every hierarchical structure is defined by those who play the game in deference to those at the top of the food chain, and wielded by their subservience to the system that would over time grudgingly, and in piecemeal, offer a crumb or two to those who sold their soul despite whatever ethical standards they portended to hold. How much you “earn” is exacted by how much of an ass-wipe you are willing to self-deprecate yourself to a system that may or may not demand one’s subservience, whether real or imagined.įor some, it is politics as usual, while those in the know, define it as self-deluded subservient “politicos”. It is however measured and exacted in degrees. Lest anyone believe that Yonkers financial debauchery is specific to one over the other, it is not. While Yonkers is neither a pariah nor an anomaly, one can objectively say that privilege begets wealth for self, as well as for one’s progeny in some degree or another.

It has taken the Yonkers Tribune slightly over two decades to better appreciate the complexities and privilege government can bestow upon those who serve the hierarchy of governement. He has now served 10 of the 12-years maximum in the office of the Yonkers City Council. After all, dismissing the will of the people would come to serve Councilman Mike Breen well. When the administration presented their desire to eclipse the two, 4-years term limit, as was accomplished by the New York City Council referendum with respect to New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg, Councilman Breen decided to extend term limits for a third, 4-year term. Breen would learn that his advancement in politics required he abide and conform to the interests of the administration whether real or imagined. How sweet it was! Breen was unchallenged again 4-years after his first term in office. Lo and behold, Mike Breen was elected to represent Yonkers City Council District 5, succeeding two-term Yonkers City Councilman Murtagh with the caveat of Mike Breen not having to contend with a future challenger even 10-years hence. It was at that venue, from the back of the room, that Patty Breen shouted, “It’s Mike’s turn! It’s his turn!” And true to their word, the Republican Party abided by their word to the Breens. The drama took place at the Republican Nominating Convention that this reporter attended. It took place eight years after Yonkers City Councilman John Murtagh had completed serving Yonkers City Council District 5 for two, four-year terms. In time, a promise made to the Breens came to roost. Even though they each became more entrenched in their respective political affiliations, they each maintained and sustained their friendship to the present. Patty and Mike Breen maintained and nurtured their friendship and political affiliation with present Mayor Mike Spano even while retaining their Republican Party roots. In time, the mayor meandered his way from the Republican Party into the Democratic Party. YONKERS, NY - MaPresent Yonkers City Councilman Mike Breen, representing District 5, and his wife Patricia Breen, began their political engagement with then New York State Assemblyman Mike Spano in the 1990s.
