Wanna make $500? Just take a picture of people stealing or defacing Paul Feiner’s campaign signs in Greenburgh.
Feiner, who is running for a ninth term as town supervisor, sent out an e-mail yesterday offering the reward for any photos or videos that lead police to capture the scofflaws. He claims more than 100 of his green and white signs, which say simply “I’m with Paul,” have been removed or vandalized in the past week.
Feiner claims that his signs were stolen within a few hours after his campaign placed them along roadways, and that lawn signs were removed from people’s private property. Signs hung on telephone poles have been vandalized, he said.
Feiner is offering the reward with his three running mates: Town Board candidates Kevin Morgan and Sonja Brown and Town Clerk challenger Judith Beville. Morgan posted pictures of two vandalized signs, covered with the word “greed” and the symbol for anarchy, here.
Morgan, a retired Greenburgh police detective, filed a formal complaint with the police department on Sunday, Feiner said. In the e-mail. Morgan called the thefts and vandalism “a political hate crime.” Feiner’s e-mail also includes statements by Brown, urging the Town Board incumbents to discourage sign theft and vandalism; and a statement from Beville challenging every incumbent and candidate to issue statements urging fair elections.
Feiner encouraged his supporters to carry a camera when they drive around town, especially at night. He said photos and videos can be sent to Paul Feiner, P.O. Box 718, Hartsdale, NY 10530. Residents call also call Feiner at 478-1219. Those who catch the thieves and vandals on tape must agree to testify in court, Feiner said.

Look to your’ own Democratic party, I experienced the same when I ran for congress and when the election was over the signs were left untouched.
