The Westchester County Board of Legislators today overrode all 27 of County Executive Rob Astorino's (R-Westchester) vetoes to the 2012 spending plan.

Astorino had rejected funding for neighborhood health centers, child care subsidies and other parts of the $1.9 billion spending plan.

When Astorino outlined his budget proposal in mid-November, he said his objective was to avoid an increase in the tax levy, while protecting the county's Aaa bond rating.
