Spano endorses Berger in Greenburgh
Westchester County Executive Andy Spano has thrown his support behind Suzanne Berger, who is trying to unseat longtime Greenburgh Town Supervisor Paul Feiner in the Sept. 18 Democratic primary.
The endorsement came this afternoon at St. Francis/St. Martha’s Church on Tarrytown Road in Greenburgh.
Berger, a Dobbs Ferry lawyer who is the head of Greenburgh’s Democratic Town Committee, was chosen as the town party’s candidate over Feiner, who has clashed with the town’s Democratic leadership over the years.
Spano also endorsed Berger’s running mates for the Town Board, Steve Bass and Eddie Mae Barnes. Both Bass and Barnes have the Democratic Town Committee’s support.
Spano was joined by county clerk Tim Idoni; county legislators Lois Bronz, D-Greenburgh and Ken Jenkins, D-Yonkers; and Assembly members Richard Brodsky, D-Greenburgh and George Latimer, D-Rye, according to Bass.
Bill Ryan, a White Plains Democrat who chairs the county Board of Legislators and Assembly members Amy Paulin, D-Scarsdale, and Adam Bradley, D-White Plains, did not attend the event but sent written remarks supporting the slate, Bass said.

clearly paul feiner is out of favor with his own
democratic party…they know from experience how
idiosyncratic he has been..he can’t get along
with his council…he is arbitrary in his decision
making, he has kept a political police chief
in place, and he has made sure his contributors
benefit by giving favorable treatment to lawfirms
representing developers…Ms berger is an
easy winner both in the primary and in the general
and if paul even thinks about an ind line
republicans will line up for ms berger just to
end feiner’s quirky career
i hope you are right. feiner is long past his sell by date. he is a problem not a problem solver. now ms berger has to put together a fresh forward looking agenda to address greenburgh’s problems. she clearly will have the ear of the county and the state legislature to help her. no one listens to feiner other than his misty eyed enablers and developer friends.
I think it will be tought for Ms. Berger. Feiner has created so many lingering problems—how to pay for Taxter Ridge, etc. All we can realisticly hope for is to stop the bleeding.
Feiner is apparently forming his own political party and circulating petitions.
