Feiner under fire in Greenburgh as forensic audit unmasks management issues in Westchester's biggest town

David McKay Wilson | Hudson Valley Digger | 2/27/26

A scathing forensic review of Greenburgh government, which found widespread financial issues, has raised questions about management in Westchester’s biggest town as Supervisor Paul Feiner embarks on his campaign for an 18^th term....

The forensic report comes as Feiner faces a serious challenger in a June 23 primary, where the election will most likely be decided in the Democratic stronghold of Greenburgh. Winning the backing of the Greenburgh Democratic Committee was Barry McGoey, a retired Yonkers firefighter and former president of Yonkers Firefighters Local 628. McGoey, an attorney and former bank auditor, is in his second term on the Ardsley village Board of Trustees....

The audit of the years 2020 through 2023, which cost Greenburgh taxpayers $72,000, was completed in January by EFPR Group, CPAs of Rochester. It found $29 million in delinquent property taxes, with $26 million in interest and penalties owed since 2010, with an additional $3 million owed back to 1967. The town failed to implement a five-year program approved by the Town Board to raise water rates to pay for needed upgrades.

There were also $2.6 million in unpaid parking tickets dating back more than three years and nearly 7,400 unpaid traffic tickets dating back to 2001, with $1.8 million yet to be collected.

Most troubling to several board members was what they called the “unauthorized use” of $32 million by the Feiner administration that was earmarked for a yet-to-be-built new police station and courthouse....

Feiner says he reports to Town Hall at some point every day, but also works 40% to 50% of his work days at his sister Carrie’s home on Fox Meadow Road in Scarsdale, where his 101-year-old mother has resided since Feiner’s father died 12 years ago. In good weather, he’ll bike from Greenburgh Town Hall to Scarsdale in about 45 minutes. He has his phone with him at all times, so he is responsive, regardless of his setting.

“I do a lot of work at my mother’s house,” he said. “I spend 40 to 50% of the day doing emails there.”
