Greenburgh budget protest hearing seeks $17,000 cut
Town Supervisor William Deell faced an audience of about five hundred in Tarrytown as Greenburgh budget objections pressed for deeper cuts. The Taxpayers Federation urged more than $50,000 in reductions, citing rental costs and salaries, while Deell defended the proposed 1941 budget and said earlier reductions were already made. He argued Greenburgh’s tax rate remains competitive and emphasized collection efforts and delays in improvement of vacant land as key issues.
