Summer 2007

DEAR FRIENDS:

Paul Feiner is an accomplished public servant. We support Paul because of his passionate commitment to issues that will better the lives of all Greenburgh and village residents. Paul has always been a leader for progressive causes in our town:
SAVING COMMUNITY HOSPITAL AT DOBBS FERRY

• Paul has led the effort to keep the hospital open by working closely with the leadership of the hospital, other elected officials, and Greenburgh residents to lobby the state.

HELPING FLOOD VICTIMS

• Organized a town-wide study of the causes of the damage and potential solutions
• Provided aid for affected merchants,
• Found volunteers to house families affected by flooding who needed temporary shelter,
• Planning street fairs and jazz concerts for East Hartsdale Avenue to revitalize the area.

SMART FISCAL MANAGEMENT

• Zero tax increases for two consecutive years
• Moody’s Financial Services praised the town’s “solid fiscal management;” Standard & Poor’s noted the Town’s “strong financial operations”

MAINTAINING GREENBURGH’S ENVIRONMENT

• Increased parkland from 200 acres to 600 acres
• Constructing a new dog park at East Rumbrook Park, increasing walking trails at town parks and building a children’s garden at Hart’s Brook Preserve
• Greenburgh has the first municipal energy conservation coordinator in the region

MAKING HOUSING AFFORDABLE

• Turned foreclosed properties into affordable housing
• Working for an affordable housing complex for volunteer firefighters and ambulance corps workers.

BRINGING CORPORATIONS TO GREENBURGH

• The stable environment fostered by Paul’s management skills has attracted major companies to Greenburgh, increasing the tax base and easing the tax burden on residents. Regeneron, Dannon Yogurt (national headquarters) and MSG’s training facilities (NY Knicks, Rangers) are all in Greenburgh.

COMMITMENT TO PERFORMANCE

• Paul puts taxpayers first. He is the only elected official who gives back part of his salary if he fails to reach yearly goals established for the town.
• Paul gave back his town car — he does not use a municipal vehicle, nor does he request reimbursement for car expenses or other expenses he is entitled to. He loves his job.

We strongly believe in the dedication and competence of Paul Feiner, our Town Supervisor. We want Paul to remain in office to ensure that Greenburgh is at the forefront of progressive causes. Please remember to vote! The Democratic primary is Tuesday, September 18^th. The election is November 6^th. This year we’ll be working harder than ever to defeat the political establishment that writer Michael D’Andry in The Westchester Crusader asserted ‘wants to dump someone who “invented non partisan government” in Greenburgh’.

Campaigns cost money. We need your help — now more than ever.

We hope we can count on you. Without your financial help or volunteer assistance we can lose this region’s most innovative and hard working public servant.

Sincerely,

Carlos Cardenas, Hartsdale

Faith Evans, Hastings

Allyson Felix, Irvington

Storm Field, Irvington

Michael Piedimonte, Tarrytown

Richard Garfunkel, North Greenburgh

Iris McLee, Fairview

Randy Klipstein, Dobbs Ferry

Don Siegel, Edgemont

Steve Wittenberg, Ardsley

Mayor Robert Williams, Elmsford

Re: Announcing my Candidacy for Re-election

Today local governments are expected to carry a much larger share of the national financial burden. Indeed, economic times have changed dramatically in the past few years and recent events and the war in Iraq have contributed greatly toward reshaping our personal views on just about every aspect of our lives.

Included on everyone’s lists, no doubt, are voters’ changing expectations of their local government officials. I cannot agree more! Throughout my 16 years of experience as your Town Supervisor, I have heard loud and clear from the many people I serve daily.

They no longer want to hear the usual political rhetoric filled with empty promises but rather want to know that their elected officials are capable of making business savvy decisions on their behalf. In the new economy that we live in today, I fully recognize that many of our residents are TAXED to the MAX!

That is why I am confident that your next Town Supervisor for Greenburgh must be an experienced innovator that knows how to stretch tax payers’ funds far beyond their par value. He or she can no longer be a member of the ‘old way of thinking’, where raising taxes is the only tool for funding new projects.

For the last 16 years, I have demonstrated my leadership in negotiating numerous projects for our Town that have saved our taxpayers millions of dollars over the years. With this proven experience, I am confident that I can continue to guide our town forward in a fiscally responsible manner.

I respect and recognize your efforts as a hard working taxpayer. I don’t take your support or vote for granted but rather accept it as an inspiration to work harder and smarter for our Town. To continue to do so, I need your support! - not just financial support, but also your spare time working as a campaign volunteer.

I pledge to you, as I have done year after year, to keep our Town on a sound financial course that you and I can be proud of. I ask you to personally join me today by committing time and/or funds to our campaign. I appreciate your generous support.

Thank you again for the privilege of serving you and our wonderful Town of Greenburgh!

Respectfully yours,

Paul Feiner

Greenburgh Town Supervisor
