My office has created a blog highlighting the significant transformative, painful and often inspiring experiences our local Black community has had during the last century.
Today, on Juneteenth, we celebrate freedom and the end of slavery.
Last Friday the town of Greenburgh sponsored a barbeque at Town Hall celebrating Juneteenth. I have a suggestion for next year: A motorcade with stops at the homes of famous leaders who lived here. At different stops someone could talk about the former resident who lived at the property—former residents like Cab Calloway, Gordon Parks, Roy Campanella. There are many others (see link below)
Greenburgh has a very impressive history. I think a motorcade stopping at the homes of famous African Americans who lived here would make Juneteenth even more special.

proposal: FREEZE assessment changes for five years (Connecticut does this)
During the past few months, residents have suggested that the Town of Greenburgh change the way we address assessment changes.

I have been in touch with the Assessor, Edye McCarthy, after speaking to residents and have asked her to put together a report to determine the feasibility of reassessing our properties similar to what Connecticut does. They reassess every five years.

The only change in assessments would be if a homeowner does construction on their home. Otherwise no changes during the five year period.

Several states in the nation do reassessments this way. Would ease some anxiety because there would not be changes annually to the assessments. It is easier for families to budget.

This would require state legislation.

I have asked Edye McCarthy to discuss with colleagues around the state. There are some who like the concept. Others disagree and think it is better to have smaller incremental changes.

What do you think?

I will be reaching out to civic association leaders, village and school boards and State Legislators in the coming months. My e mail is [email protected].

Jake Weiss, a student at Edgemont High School, worked as an intern in my office during the last month of the school year. Edgemont High provides seniors with the opportunity to intern before graduation.

Jake devoted his internship to fighting bigotry and Anti Semitism. He interviewed Steve Goldberg of the Holocaust and Human Rights Center. And, Rabbi Annie Tucker of Temple Israel Center in White Plains. Both interviews can be watched on the link below. We created a you tube of Jake being honored at our last Greenburgh Town Board meeting for his exceptional work. He has a great future ahead of him.

If your son or daughter is interested in hosting cable TV shows focusing on important issues that concern them please e mail me at [email protected].

NY Knicks training facility is in Greenburgh! I plan to reach out to the head coach of the NY Knicks, Mike Brown, and will suggest that the coaches, assistant coaches and athletic trainers be honored at an upcoming summer meeting of the Greenburgh Town Board.

Am sure that many residents of Greenburgh are overjoyed because the Knicks won the 2026 NBA championship. New York is celebrating its first title since 1973 after the Knicks closed out the Spurs in five games.

The NY Knicks put Greenburgh on the map in 2002 when they opened their training facility in Greenburgh. The staff, that deserve to be honored, works with players year-round in Greenburgh on conditioning, rehabilitation, shooting, skill development, game preparation and video analysis. The training center in Greenburgh is considered to be one of the premier NBA practice facilities.

Greenburgh is fortunate that the Knicks chose Greenburgh as the location for their training facility. We are honored to have them in our town!

If readers of this message have connections to the NY Knicks and would like to participate in organizing a Greenburgh celebration honoring the coaches, please e mail me at [email protected]. These coaches helped make the NBA championships possible.

Great news! Moody's just awarded the Town of Greenburgh their highest bond rating today (June 12, 2026) ---Aaa. The independent bond rating agency highlighted our "conservative budgeting" and "strong fiscal oversight." They mentioned that "the town's local economy is strong."

This bond rating will result in savings to every taxpayer in Greenburgh. Our borrowing costs will be less than other communities in Westchester --saving every taxpayer significant dollars when we borrow for capital projects. It is estimated that only 2% of municipalities across the nation have this high bond rating.

Thank you Kimberly Gutwein, Comptroller of Greenburgh for your efforts overseeing our finances and to department heads and town employees for working hard to make sure that taxpayers receive great services and excellent value for their taxes.

The rating can be found by clicking on the link below --rating just came out today!

Watch 150 interviews of Greenburgh Veterans of World War II, Korean conflict this weekend
This Memorial Day weekend Greenburgh Public Access TV will continue our tradition of airing over 150 Living History interviews of local heroes – Greenburgh veterans – on public access TV Optimum channel 76 and FiOS 34. Because each of the interviews are over half hour long the interviews are broadcast nonstop from Friday night till early Tuesday morning.

Most of the local heroes interviewed were veterans of World War II or the Korean conflict. We started interviewing veterans around 2009-2011. Sadly, many of the veterans interviewed are no longer with us -but their lives will not be forgotten. These interviews will be treasured by the community for generations to come. Don’t know of any other community that has produced something similar!

You can watch all or some of the interviews by clicking onto the link below:
