Sources of Information - updated 5/31

Information about the on-going events pertaining to the Town Supervisor election can be found at the following websites:

www.paulfeiner.com  [obviously Feiner's outlet for his official statements and p.o.v.]
www.greenburghny.com  [official town website, similarly promotes Town Board's achievements]

www.edgemontcommunitycouncil.org  [Bernstein's base; critical of Feiner, though largely focuses on local Edgemont issues, such as schools, etc.]

www.lohud.com  [Journal Newspaper website: infrequent Greenburgh articles which are strangely bereft of insight or familiarity with town; occasionally reader comments on Greenburgh related articles can be informative through contrasting viewpoints, although most commentators remain anonymous (except Hal Samis, a frequently prolix, contentious and fearless anti-Feiner activist)]

http://greenburgh.dailyvoice.com   [typical "hyper local" news website; true to its name, it has "daily stories on Greenburgh but its choices of topics are arbitrary and lack any sort of analysis or depth; occasionally contentious exchanges in readers' comments, where, again, almost all commentators remain cloaked behind a veil of anonymity, excepting Hal Samis]

www.abettergreenburgh.blogspot.com  [local commentator's website often focuses on Elmsford/Mayfair area issues; good source for explanations of the complexities of the Valhalla School issue, Westhelp and other town controversies from an anti-Feiner/town board p.o.v.; author is stridently anti-Feiner and has recently started promoting Bernstein's candidacy but site's effectiveness is  impaired because the author insists on staying anonymous]

Facebook:
Paul Feiner page - frequently updated by Feiner with information about his doings and accomplishments
Friends of Bob Bernstein page - just recently started
Edgemont Community Council - FB companion to ECC website

Let me know if I've missed anything.

UPDATE 5/31:
Turns out I did miss a few.  While I was being snide about the lohud.com coverage of Greenburgh, I negligently failed to notice that lohud has Greenburgh coverage in his white plains and hudson politics blogs at
http://whiteplains.lohudblogs.com
http://polhudson.lohudblogs.com
Greg Shillinglaw, the reporter who wrote today's post on the Bernstein candidacy announcement and Feiner's response, seems quite well-informed about the town and election issues.   I stand corrected.

Also:
www.richardjgarfunkel.com  [in past contested primaries, Mr. Garfunkel was an outspoken and effective voice strongly supporting Feiner's candidacy; he often wrote on various websites as a de facto campaign spokesman without making clear his role on Feiner's staff, or if he was simply an enthusiastic volunteer. I imagine he'll be involved in this campaign.]
