WHITE PLAINS – Judge Robert Prisco Friday lifted a temporary restraining order issued earlier in the week that stopped the Westchester County Board of Legislators from holding a special meeting on Wednesday.
Following this ruling, Chairwoman Catherine Borgia submitted a letter of resignation vacating her leadership position to the clerk of the board.
According to the rules of the board, Vice Chairwoman Nancy Barr will become acting chair for a maximum of 60 days. During that period, the board will vote to install a new chair for the remainder of the 2022-2023 legislative term.
Borgia will remain a member of the 17-member legislative body and continue her duty to the district to which she was elected.
A statement from the board said, “regardless of party affiliation, county legislators worked together to protect board staff, prioritize the board’s important work, and restore integrity for the people of Westchester.”
