You will not find many places which republicans have lost control of local elections by such large marging that they do not even consider challengers as in Greenburgh.
But in Greenburgh is Democrats beating on Progressives and this is how it looks:

Dear Fellow Progressive Democrats:
This Tuesday's Greenburgh Democratic primary is important to those of us in the villages because it may have a significant impact on our town taxes if Suzanne Berger and her slate is elected.
On the tax issue, see the letter below signed by elected officials in all six villages. On other issues in the campaign, there are letters by Kevin Morgan, Sonja Brown and Polly Rothstein.
For anyone concerned about a woman's right to choose, the literature of the Bass and Barnes campaign, with the backing of Catherine Lederer Plaskett, current chair of WCLA, is very damaging to the credibility of WCLA and its effectiveness in fighting for women's rights in Westchester. Polly Rothstein is very offended by the actions of this campaign. Polly Rothstein is a highly respected national leader on women's rights who founded WCLA and led it for 20 years. If you google her name, you will find a long list of her achievements. Just today, emails from Plaskett are making the rounds distorting a private email from Polly. I am very disturbed by this since the same tactics were used to defeat me when I ran 2 years ago. After the election, the Fair Campaign Practices Board found that their literature on this issue was unfair, but now they are using virtually the same literature again 2 years later.
This type of swift-boating has no place in a local race and is bad for our Party and our community.

Be sure to vote on Tuesday. I hope you will join me in voting for Paul Feiner, Kevin Morgan, Sonja Brown and Judith Beville. Please forward this widely.

Dear residents of Ardsley, Dobbs Ferry, Elmsford, Hastings-on-Hudson, Irvington and Tarrytown

We are writing to you because the election next Tuesday, September 18th will have a significant
impact on village residents. Vote to help prevent a large rise in our Greenburgh town taxes.

Edgemont lawyer Robert Bernstein is suing to make village residents share the cost of unincorporated
Greenburgh's parks and recreation, even though village residents pay their own parks and
recreation costs. He is also maneuvering to have village residents pay for sidewalk construction
and repair in all of unincorporated Greenburgh, for Greenburgh's engineering department, and
other costs for unincorporated Greenburgh which do nothing for the villages, all of which will
increase our town taxes even more.

The current Town Board is working with Robert Bernstein who is actively campaigning for
Suzanne Berger, Steve Bass & Eddie Mae Barnes. Kevin Morgan and Sonja Brown are independent
and will put fairness to the villages first.

On September 18, join us in voting to re-elect Greenburgh Town Supervisor Paul Feiner -- the only
town official who is fighting for fairness for our villages.* It is critical that you also vote for Kevin
Morgan, Sonja Brown and Judith Beville, so that we have an independent and fair Town Board.
Signed,

Robert Williams, Mayor of Elmsford
Joe Bova, Mayor of Dobbs Ferry
Mark Mildner, former Trustee, Ardsley
Peter Swiderski, Trustee, Hastings
Richard Livingston, former Trustee, Irvington
Tom Basher, Trustee, Tarrytown

Journal News August 31, 2007
“Feiner said he would fight for fairness for village residents, so they would only pay taxes for the town services they use. Berger said this was a “dangerous principle”…

This is what the Journal News said on August 28, 2007

[Journal-news clipping] …controversial Edgemont attorney Robert Bernstein..is suing Greenburgh to make the town’s six villages share the costs for town parks and recreation.

Right now, only people living in unincorporated Greenburgh, including the Edgemont neighborhood pay for those services.

If his lawsuit is successful, people in Ardsley, Dobbs Ferry, Elmsford, Hastings-on-Hudson, Irvington and Tarrytown could see their town tax bills triple.

Letter to Editor:
I am campaigning for Town Board with energy and optimism for the job ahead. During this campaign, I have spoken with hundreds of Greenburgh residents and listened carefully to their concerns and problems. I believe in open, transparent government. I believe in enacting laws that improve the quality of our environment and the quality of the lives of our residents. I believe taxpayers’ money should be spent wisely and I believe in fairness.

I am running for Town Board because I stand up for what I believe in. Therefore, I must set the record straight about the gross misrepresentations of my opponents. Steve Bass and Eddie Mae Barnes knowingly disregarded the Westchester Fair Campaign Practices Board by publicly repeating outrageous statements about me that the Board ruled unfair. I AM and always will be pro-choice. By declaring to the contrary, Bass and Barnes thumbed their noses at the Westchester Fair Campaign Practices Board. This behavior reveals the kind of politicians they are. They claim credit for policies they oppose and make up lies about their opponents simply to win. How can they now be trusted to keep their promises?

The Scarsdale Inquirer said about me that I am “earnest, sincere and we believe a straight shooter.” You will hear no lies or see me take credit for things I voted against. I will seek your input on all issues and vote for what I believe is right for Greenburgh. I will serve you with energy, diligence and integrity. I am optimistic about our future!
Signed,
Kevin Morgan

Brown: Opponents' charges are 'lies'

Mommy, why is this girl crying and why is your name on this paper?" In my daughter's small hands was a flyer from Greenburgh Town Council members Steve Bass and Eddie Mae Barnes. It said women and their loved ones should fear me and my running mate, Kevin Morgan; that we would deny the crying young woman access to legal abortion (see Thursday story, "Opponents assail Greenburgh incumbents' flier as 'lies'"). I did my best to explain to my 8-year-old daughter that only the most despicable politicians would knowingly lie and try to scare innocent families. "Honey, remember when mommy said that sometimes people say nasty, untruthful and harmful things about others when they are afraid? Well, that's why they lied about your mommy." I could tell that my 8-year-old's sadness was quickly turning into anger. "It's not nice when people lie to hurt nice people."

Unfortunately, this is only one in a parade of bold-faced lies from Mr. Bass and Ms. Barnes. For example, they falsely accused me of having ties to developers. Then, they fabricated a story that I am against the closing of Indian Point. Today they accused me of trying to "line my pockets" by proposing an SAT/college summer camp initiative.

Allow me to describe the real Sonja Brown. I am 100 percent pro-choice. I have never linked myself with any developer. I have never said I want to keep Indian Point. Lastly, I have and will work tirelessly and selflessly for the people of our community.

The writer is running for Greenburgh Town Board in Tuesday's Democratic primary

To the Editor:
Greenburgh voters deserve more honesty than they've been fed in this overheated Democratic primary for town board.
The Feiner team has not aligned itself with any anti-abortion candidates or point of view. Suzanne Berger's board candidates sent out a scurrilous and untrue mailing, too late for refutation by mail, all because Kevin Morgan got petition some signatures for Republican candidate Devlin. He does not support Devlin's anti-choice position, allegedly given to WCLA two years ago. I spoke in 2005 with Kevin Morgan and established his strong support for abortion rights (and after 30 years of practice, I know how to smoke out anti-choice candidates), and spoke for him when his position was dishonestly presented (for which the Fair Campaign Practices Committee publicly chastised the now-Berger team).

Today, again, Kevin's position on abortion rights is being distorted with scare tactics unworthy of Greenburgh voters. Kevin carried a few petitions for Devlin, but wasn't aware that WCLA had deemed him anti-choice two years ago; Kevin has known him as a judge for years, and likes him. It didn't occur to him to query Devlin on abortion rights and didn't realize his lack of awareness would be used to attack him for being anti-choice. isn't something most candidates would automatically have thought of. The Barnes-Bass team knows they are doing wrong in again falsely accusing Kevin of being against abortion rights. In fact, when I interviewed Kevin and his opponent, Francis Sheehan, last year, I found that Kevin understood and articulated the case law on abortion rights far better than Frances Sheehan, who told me he was pro-choice and refused to go further. I'd have rated Kevin Morgan higher on the pro-choice scale than Sheehan.

I'd hate to see this out-of-control primary election won -- or lost -- on false premises. Kevin Morgan is solidly and unequivocally pro-choice, period. I vouch for him.
