We Told You So...

We recently wrote about flooding that takes place in many areas of the Town of Greenburgh and how the Supervisor chose to ignore funding money available to address it in all the neighborhoods but Hartsdale. ABG wonders why Hartsdale was so deserving and the other neighborhoods were not? We can only assume a prejudice on behalf or the supervisor and his town board, previously referred to as the "Stepford" Board. Below are a few pictures of the devastation caused by the three and a half inches of rain that fell this Sunday night/Monday morning.

Pictured here, while difficult to see, are four pictures made into a panoramic view to show how much water is visible from behind the Bridge Auto Parts store on Rt 9A, looking west.

The next picture is about two blocks north of the BP gas station (formerly Amoco), with the giant, on 9A by I-287, looking north.

This area has so typically flooded that the police will even leave the barricades nearby. It's not that we don't expect flooding throughout the Town, we do. We do because the Town has a moratorium on preserving green space, a former hallmark of the Town of GREENburgh, and a wholesale gifting by the Supervisor and his Board to any developer who promises the Town something (read: payoff). 

The upcoming election for Town Supervisor promises a litany of hopefuls. In the last election, Supervisor Feiner, our own “paragon” of ethics, had his only democratic challenger's ballot signatures disqualified and then said he was upset because competition is good. C'mon Paul. It's getting old.

We brought up flooding prior to knowing about the impending storm. ABG is a touch soggy in our own underground headquarters due to the flooding we've all been suffering through. Our offices requires our attention now that we've been able to turn off our pumps. It would be nice to see the Town officials flex a little brain-power and go after the money we need to fix this issue throughout the Town, not just in one community.
