Our previous article discussed the meeting Mr Feiner crafted as his unofficial anti-incorporation event. It's no secret that Mr Feiner is against the Edgemont Incorporation although in the next breath claims to not have a position. The last meeting utilized Councilman Ken Jones as Mr Feiner's understudy, making several comments that can only be interpreted as being against the incorporation. Regardless, there is another meeting tonight that promises to be interesting, if not informative.
We believe the tactic for tonight’s meeting will be orchestrated by Mr Feiner, even if he is not present, to somehow accuse the Edgemont Incorporation Group of discrimination. It's not about discrimination. Rather, it is to get out from under the Town’s mismanagement and control. Regardless, once it is refuted by the Edgemont Incorporation leaders, he will need something else to deflect away from his cavalier approach to the incorporation and the Town’s lack of preparedness. He has arranged for Wespac to be present. WesPac, a social activist and anti-Israel group, will give him the added conflict and deflection he desires once the discrimination issue is eliminated. The meeting held Tuesday night is the exact representation of why Edgemont residents are looking to incorporate.
Tonight's meeting begins at 7PM at the Seely School. We urge you to attend. It will make for A Better Greenburgh.
The question that was not asked is if Mr. Feiner announced he would resign and commit never to run for office in Greenburgh, would this perhaps stop the incorporation train? However, the despicable appearance of the rabid anti Israel Wespac (and shame on the NAACP) in this local matter (part of the Feiner racial/class angle playbook) only reinforces the case for Edgemont to divorce itself from the divisive career politician Paul Feiner and his rubber stamp crew of third rate nobodies. The Town already has six incorporated villages so what could be the legal objection to Edgemonters exercising their rights under New York State law?
ReplyDeleteThe truth is there is no Greenburgh. Its a political fiction made up of ignored provinces like Hartsdale (the dumping ground for Feiner feel good nonsense like ersatz monuments and ugly walls).
The Town has been running on empty and press releases for years. The incorporation movement has demonstrated that Edgemont is being taken advantage by the Town (if not unabashed abuse or worse in the Shelbourne matter while Edgemont is taxed heavily with no representation on the Town Board. This is ample justification for seeking local control of its tax dollars and land use in its community. Are there risks - of course. But sticking with supervisor for life Paul Feiner is the more radical move.
