Greenburgh backs anti-Ridge Hill mailing

And speaking about dueling publicity pieces...

The Westchester township of Greenburgh has spent $50,000 to send "a four-page glossy mailer to 10,000 registered Yonkers voters this week" in opposition to Forest City Ratner's Ridge Hill Village proposal.

[Chairperson of the Ridge Hill Citizen's Committee Mary Jane] Shimsky said the pamphlet was an attempt to combat Ridge Hill developer Bruce Ratner's deep pockets. Ratner has spent an undisclosed sum on cable television advertising and a 12-page mailing of his own in recent months, intended to offset criticism of the project.
