Posted on May 24, 2014 by John Bailey

WPCNR THE FEINER REPORT. From Greenburgh Supervisor Paul Feiner. May 24, 2014:

In recent years Alan Hochberg, with the help of Steve Wittenberg and cable TV access coordinator George Malone, have been interviewing veterans of World War II and the Korean conflict who live in Greenburgh.. Close to 125 interviews have been produced –each about a half hour long.

These interviews, which will be archived at the United States Library of Congress & the Greenburgh Library, will air on the Town’s government cable channels non stop during this Memorial Day weekend through Monday night: Cablevision Channel 76 and Verizon Channel 35.

Sadly, some of the veterans who were interviewed in recent years have passed away. Their stories will never be forgotten by our community. We must never forget their bravery and contributions to democracy.

The Living history initiative continues. Veterans of any war interested in having their stories told should e mail me at [email protected]. Interviews with veterans of WWII and the Korean conflict will be taped first.

Democrats Endorse Nadine Hunt-Robinson “by a whisker” Over Caruso to run for Balance of Boykin Council Term

Posted on May 22, 2014 by John Bailey

Councilwoman Nadine Hunt-Robinson shown the night she was sworn in to the Common Council in February. Thursday night, White Plains Democrats officially gave her by a very close margin the nomination to run in a special election this November to fill out the 2015 final year of former Councilman Benjamin Boykin’s current term.

WPCNR BACKROOM BULLETIN. By John F. Bailey. May 22, 2014:

Nadine’s the one!

Shortly after 9 PM this evening at the White Plains YWCA on North Street, district leaders chose to back the Common Council and original Democratic City Committee choice of Nadine Hunt-Robinson to run in a Special Election in November.

The vote, WPCNR correspondents say, was very close. In a weighted vote by population per district, Ms. Hunt-Robinson is reported to receive about 6,500 votes to 6,300 votes for her challenger Thomas Caruso.

Votes are weighted by district, to represent the number of votes cast on the Democratic line in the last White Plains election district: for example if 300 voters voted Democratic in a district , that district leader or leaders could vote 1,50 toward the nominee of their choice.

Hunt-Robinson’s selection and subsequent appointment to the Common Council February 3 of this year, replacing Benjamin Boykin (who was elected to the County Board of Legislators) had been sharply criticised.

A number of district leaders objected after the appointment on grounds that alleged the nominating committee had not been consulted. Feelings were strong that Ms. Hunt-Robinson had been forced on the Mayor and Council by the White Plains Ministry Fellowship on grounds that the former council seat held by Benjamin Boykin, should go to a Black person, so the council would continue to have the White Plains Black community represented.

Ms. Hunt-Robinson came under fire for actually being a member of the Independence Party and not a registered Democrat.

A letter sent to district leaders this week from the Mayor and four other seating Councilman, appears to have turned the tide in favor of Ms. Hunt-Robinson.
