Gov. David Paterson has signed state legislation that allows Westchester County government to conduct public bond sales through nationally recognized Internet securities bidding services under a three-year pilot program.
Officials say that conducting bond sales over the Internet is not only a technological advance over the traditional methods of paper bids or fax machines but also a way for the county to save money.
"This bill will streamline the bidding process for our county, and save money on administrative costs," said Assemblywoman Amy Paulin, D-Scarsdale, who sponsored the legislation.
The bill passed unanimously in the state Assembly and Senate.
