Greenburgh Town Board Backs Feiner to Overturn Wicks Law Posted on Tuesday, January 14 @ 23:04:42 EST by jfbailey

Community WPCNR GREENBURGH GAZETTE EVENING EDITION. From Town of Greenburgh Media Relations Office. January 14, 2003:Greenburgh Town Supervisor Paul Feiner announced Tuesday evening that the Greenburgh Town Board unanimously approved a resolution on January l4th calling on State Senator Nick Spano and Assemblyman Richard Brodsky to introduce legislation in Albany that would exempt the Town of Greenburgh from provisions of the Wicks Law.

The Wicks Law, according to Feiner, REQUIRES THE GOVERNMENT TO OVERPAY WHEN CONSTRUCTING OR RENOVATING GOVERNMENT BUILDINGS. Feiner said that the Town is in the process of renovating l77 Hillside for their new Town Hall and will be expanding the library.

"We could save millions if the State Legislature approves this exemption."

Feiner said that the City of Buffalo and various state boards and agencies have received exemptions from the law in the past. A state report indicated that some communities have overpaid by as much as 30% --thanks to the Wicks Law.

"We're hopeful that our State Senator and Assemblyman will work with the town so we can get this exemption," Feiner stated.
