Feiner: taxpayers should pay over time

Posted by: Gerald McKinstry - Posted in Paul Feiner, Uncategorized on Apr 06, 2009

Greenburgh Town Supervisor Paul Feiner, a critic of county government who has called for its elimination, says taxpayers shouldn’t have to pay all their tax bills by April 30. He wants the county to pass a law allowing residents to spread out their payments over time.

“These are difficult times for many people – especially seniors on fixed incomes and people who recently lost their jobs. Many people cannot pay their entire tax obligations all at once,” Feiner wrote in an e-mail sent out to constituents. ”It would be easier on taxpayers if property owners could pay part of the bill in the spring and the balance later in the year.”

Taxpayers must now pay their entire bill by the deadline. He said localities are not authorized to accept partial payments and must assess penalties.

  1. THE CONSULTANT

    feiner has got to stop grandstanding…property owners with
    mortgages escrow for taxes so they already pay on a monthly
    basis…at 7% interest most people will opt to pay taxes
    on time..and if paul would stop raising them it would
    be a lot easier

    Agree with the consultant, Feiner is playing games with the public. Feiner is saying what he believes people want to hear, Feiner is a phony.

  3. THE CONSULTANT

    Feiner wants to rethink county government..how about he
    start rethinking town government..how about recommending
    that the incorporated areas like dobbs, irvington, hastings
    and ardsley share some services and cut adm costs..whats
    the matter not poltically palatable….thats exactly
    why it should be done….harping on the county is a useless
    excerise which will yield very little in terms of tax
    savings…

    Feiner is a puppet master. I believe that he is exposing his true self to all. Steve Bass & crew have been laying in wait and Paul is serving himself on a platter.

    Feiner is a shrewd cookie. A tax and spend liberal who espouses “fairness,” lower taxes help for seniors, fiscal integrity, and etc., etc. etc. Some honest politician who will really see to it that these issues are actually confronted and dealt with could learn from his schtick, but just eliminate the hypocrisy and the ineffectuality.
