Next Monday I will be releasing my proposed 2007 budget. The Town Board will be reviewing the budget during the months of November and will be approving a budget document in December. During the next few weeks I will be sharing with readers of this site some interesting info about each department. It’s important to know where your money goes….
PAUL FEINER
PS: Don’t worry. Any 2007 tax increase proposed will be BELOW the cost of living..
The facts are listed in the comments section.

I'm glad to be living in a town that has so many excellent services. My friends who reside elsewhere marvel at our parks.
Yes marvelous parks if you can find them. Where is Taxter Ridge?
Where are the parks in Edgemont?
Yes, I am certain all the Greenburgh rec teams that play at Greenburgh fields enjoy. Especially the ones from Ardsley that dont have to pay for them
Dear Anon at 10:03.
It wouldnt matter if you knew where Taxter Ridge was, there is no parking there. So unless you own one of the Irvington homes that adjoins it, your question is irrelevant.
Dear Anonymous: Ardsley residents may not have to pay for parks in Edgemont or unincorporated Greenburgh. Unincorporated Greenburgh or Edgemont residents don't have to pay to use our parks in Ardsley. We don't require passports to use the park on Ashford Ave. I've seen lots of Edgemont parents bring their children to our playground.
How much do our parks cost annually to run?
