Bernstein Announces Candidacy at Contaminated Site

Surrounded by about a hundred or so people, and in an effort to play off the symbolism of what’s wrong with the Town of Greenburgh, Edgemont resident and attorney Robert Bernstein announced his candidacy for Greenburgh Town Supervisor at 715 Dobbs Ferry Road. As you may be aware, this is the embattled location of the former Frank’s Nursery, known to be contaminated with many chemicals, too many to mention now. 

Interestingly, when Mr Feiner wanted to hold a press conference here announcing his desire to award the sale to GameOn 365, the site’s gates were unlocked and anyone wanting access was allowed entry. Mr Bernstein was not afforded the same courtesy. In fact, police had been posted there to forbid entry! Why do you think that is? Is it possible Mr Feiner “suggested” to the police that access should not be allowed? Undaunted, everyone parked nearby and walked onto the property anyway to where Mr Bernstein was. 

Throughout Mr Bernstein’s speech, he touched on costly issue after issue that have been caused by Mr Feiner and the current Town Board. After highlighting troubling issues created by Mr Feiner such as Fortress Bible Church, WestHelp, GameOn 365, etc., Mr Bernstein would say to the crowd, “You know this is wrong”, repeating the phrase, “You know it and I know it!” The crowd was receptive and responded enthusiastically to his message. Also in attendance in the back of the crowd were several supporters of the GameOn 365 proposal.

Mr Bernstein explained this primary race would be difficult but with everyone’s help he was ready to launch the battle for the Democratic nomination. He explained he is up against Mr Feiner’s well-honed political machine, which after 22 years is also extremely well-funded. It starts! 

It’s no secret that Mr Feiner has been ignoring the Town’s infrastructure, crippling our Town Departments, killing employee morale, skirting the law to benefit developers and costing residents and taxpayers millions of dollars in bad deals, lawsuit judgements, duplicate departments and waste! After 22 unimpeded years, it’s time for a change.

What do you want in our Town? It’s time for you to decide.
