Done Deal - Again! GameOn 365 Gets Approval to Proceed

Attorneys for GameOn 365 have made the argument that the Golf Driving Range is a commercial property and business will continue whether or not the Town Board approves GameOn 365’s proposal. Council-persons Sheehan and Juettner were against it for numerous reasons. They probably recognized the futility of their position once the other two jumped on Mr Feiner’s bandwagon and espoused different reasons for it to move forward. So, as predicted, GameOn 365 has gotten the green light from our disingenuous Town Board.

The GameOn 365 attorney stated that it was their hope to have the Town Board declared the Lead Agency on April 8th, allowing the various studies to be proceed. To throw a bone to the neighbors in the area under the guise of propriety, Mr Feiner suggested doing the traffic study. The attorney said that the organization the Town always uses has already done a good deal of work with this. Ms Juettner suggested to do a Request For Proposal (RFP) for the traffic study. It was then that Mr Feiner chimed in that they may wind up using that firm anyway. Anybody want to make a bet that ultimately it will be that same company?

Two Civic Associations submitted a signed letter last evening at about 9PM to the Town Board members stating their objections to the project. Unfazed, Mr Feiner was finally in a position to fulfill his promise to his friend Martin Hewitt, along with his paper company GameOn 365. After trying to gift the former Frank’s Nursery property to Hewitt with an illegal lease, he tried what many called a Ponzi Scheme of a deflated payments schedule over 13 years – significantly undervaluing the property. Then Mr Feiner, ever the shrewd politician, decided to put the scheme on a referendum, carefully wording it to ensure the willfully ignorant voters would see it as a positive move and vote for it. His scheme worked as expected, garnering roughly 22,000 votes in favor. GameOn 365 contributed to the hoax with yard signs throughout the Town promising the Town would receive $5 million. It was a lie. Throughout the entire time, we wonder if Mr Feiner kept telling them, “Don’t worry. I told you you’ll get this and you will. It’s just going to take a little more time.”

Re-election is coming up for the three people who are in favor of moving this airport-sized hangar monstrosity into a residentially zoned area. Their lack of concern for the taxpaying residents of the area and the Town is abundantly clear and disappointing. There is not any viable reason for this project to be plopped here. Mr Feiner also made reference that the Golf Driving Range may go out of business without this deal. Frankly, private industry’s viability is not his nor the Town Board’s problem. His real efforts should be about developing the area with more residential housing, which will generate double the amount in taxes to the Town, giving him more money to create additional vote-producing programs. This has to end! If and when it does, will we see A Better Greenburgh.
