Windmills On The Tappan Zee!

Continually billed as “the problem solver”, The Paul learned early on that appearing dim-witted and slightly “off” would garner affection and ultimately support. As a non-practicing attorney, he mastered his game while the saps in the media gobbled it up. Quickly learning he was on the outside looking in when the good old boys network was still in play, he began to say he believed in open government. It became his mantra if there was a reporter within earshot. Although now, as an older man, the supposed charm that worked for so many years on the old ladies is wearing thin and open government is now what others practice, least of all him. And, more educated residents are realizing The Paul is operating illegally more and more and confronting him on it.

Greenburgh is rife with bad decisions from The Paul. Witness the newest disappointment from The Paul with the former Frank’s nursery property on Dobbs Ferry Road. We’ve posted about this previously but feel it warrants another visit. Why? Because he has now formally received help from his buddy, now Assemblyman, Tom “Proclamation” Abinanti and Andrea “Platitudes” Stewart-Cousins both of whom should be representing the majority of constituents, not just the supervisor. Quick, let’s deflect this and talk about making a bridge into a park and let the Unincorporated residents pay for it. Forget about the contaminated soil, the overheard high tension power wires and a host of other issues. The Town stands to make thousands with a poorly executed plan and contract with a private corporation. Can anyone say, “Conflict of interests?”

The latest campaign letter from the Office of The Supervisor provides the proposed state law amendment to the Finneran Law that only The Paul and his Stepford Board desire. All of the Town’s Village Mayors have publicly and unanimously stated they are against this legal change. Unfortunately, their opinion doesn’t matter since this is what The Paul wants! The Board wants it also. Their rationale is even more pathetic: The Paul told them it’s what they want! So voila - they’re on board! Think re-election with The Paul footing the bill. We know that once The Paul locks onto an idea, no matter how much it defies logic, cost effectiveness or just plain common sense, he goes forward with it regardless of what others say or do. It’s like his proposal to install windmills on the current Tappan Zee bridge; even though bridge experts detailed why it couldn’t, shouldn’t and wouldn’t be done.

It’s long-past time to put a stop to this bad tennis bubble idea on Dobbs Ferry Road, illegal actions of same, spot zoning as deemed advisable by The Paul and bad legal amendments to laws designed to do what The Paul won’t do: protect it’s residents! Write, email or call Abinanti and Stewart-Cousins and others and tell them to stop this before we take it all to court -AGAIN! This must be stopped! We can only hope.
