Suzanne Berger: Support Change by Voting for McGoey as Town Supervisor

Letter to The Rivertowns Dispatch | Suzanne M. Berger | 6/19/26

To the Editor:

In this Democratic primary, I urge readers to join me in voting for Barry McGoey for town supervisor and for Tom DiNapoli as NYS comptroller. Tom has been an outstanding comptroller protecting and growing the NYS Common Retirement Fund for which he is by law the sole custodian. We need that experience and steady hand. Primary Day is Tuesday, June 23. Early voting continues through Sunday, June 21.

As to our Town, this year we have the opportunity to bring new leadership after 35 years. Think about it. The current supervisor, Paul Feiner, has been in office since Bill Clinton was president. We sincerely appreciate his service to this Town, but it is time for a change. The supervisor is, by statute, supposed to be the Town’s chief fiscal officer. But a recent financial investigation (details on Mr. McGoey’s website BarryforGreenburgh.com) shows years of financial mismanagement and lack of oversight that can be attributed to the Town’s CFO/supervisor. Millions in delinquent taxes remain uncollected, authorized fees and fines remain unassessed. Village residents’ taxes have increased 10 percent this year alone, and they will increase again.

We are lucky that Barry McGoey stepped up to the challenge. Barry is a trustee in the Village of Ardsley. He is a practicing lawyer with a degree in finance. He is trained to walk toward problems, not to avoid facing them. He’s a former Yonkers firefighter and union leader who knows his way around municipal contracts. The Town is better when its municipal workforce is recognized for the work it does. And, I can attest that Barry has been active in supporting many, many Democrats for elected office in the years I have known him.

Please vote for change in Greenburgh and cast your primary vote for Barry McGoey for supervisor.
