The race is on in Greenburgh

Three people have announced their intentions to run for Greenburgh Town Board this fall.
Longtime councilwoman Eddie Mae Barnes and fellow incumbent Steve Bass sent out a joint statement yesterday about their plans to seek another four-year term on the ever-lively Town Board. Barnes, the Director of Nursing at Rye Hospital, has been on the board since 1991. Bass, an aide at the Westchester County Board of Legislators, has been on the board since 200?, when he was appointed to fill an unfinished term.
Barnes and Bass are not the biggest fans of Town Supervisor Paul Feiner, who often finds himself at odds with them and the other two council members on the Town Board.
The contentious nature of Town Board meetings has led Greenburgh school administrator Sonja Brown to announce her bid for a board seat last week. Brown is well-known in social-service circles. She is a member of a half-dozen school and town committees and has served on at least that many town, county and community boards. She plans to run as an independent, since the powerful Democratic Town Committee will almost certainly will endorse Bass and Barnes.
We’re still waiting for Feiner to announce his Town Board running mates. The pair who ran with him two years ago got thumped at the polls, but Feiner squeaked out a victory in the Democratic primary and ran unopposed in the general election.

It wasn’t a ‘thumpin as in the 2006 congressional way. The two challengers to the Democratic Committee’s designees for town council had a respectable showing; go back and look at the results. It wasn’t a blow out.
