The Edgemont Community Council responds to Paul Feiner’s denial of support for methadone clinics on Central and East Hartsdale Avenues.

Subject: RE: false rumors circulating about methadone clinics

Dear Paul:

Just once, try to deal with an issue objectively rather than trying to put your usual personal "people are out to get me" spin on things. The flyer said that "as of right" legislation that would permit health clinics, including methadone clinics, to open "as of right" on Central and East Hartsdale Avenues as well as other areas, was on for a public hearing and vote by the Town Board on August 17. That's not rumor, it's fact!

Whether there is an application for a methadone clinic on East Hartsdale Avenue or Central Avenue today or next month is irrelevant because the "as of right" legislation being proposed permits such clinics to move in without Town review. Therefore, whether you support a methadone clinic on Central Avenue or East Hartsdale Avenue makes no difference because in supporting "as of right" legislation, you are allowing it. Stop playing political games and blaming concerned civic associations for pointing out the facts.

The "as of right" legislation was your proposal -- you made it one of your 2005 goals -- and the July 6 Journal News reported you saying that anyone who criticized it was simply trying to stop the health center. If that isn't support for "as of right" legislation, then what is?

Let's see if you have the guts to circulate the truth to your gb list. If not, I'm willing to send out another flyer.

Michelle McNally, President
Edgemont Community Council

False rumors are being spread & flyers are being circulated (probably for political reasons) that members of the Town Board and I are considering a methadone clinic on E Hartsdale Ave & Central Ave. I've received a number of phone calls and e mails from residents expressing concern. Please be advised that the Town Board and I have NEVER considered placing a methadone clinic on E Hartsdale Ave & Central Ave and we never will. PAUL FEINER
