Mystery Surrounds Firing of White Plains Public Works Head

The White Plains Common Council Wednesday fired Department of Public Works Commissioner Bud Nicoletti, and did not give a public reason for doing so.

Westchester News 12 and The Journal News both reported the decision to dismiss Nicoletti, who held the post for more than 20 years.

The move caught people in attendance and some council members by surprise. The council vote to relieve Nicoletti of his duties was 5-2.

“This decision was not made lightly, but I am confident it is in the best interest of the city and its residents,” White Plains Mayor Tom Roach said during the council meeting, as reported by News 12. “I thank Commissioner Nicoletti for his years of service and wish him well.”
