Letter to the Editor: Lawrence R. Green, Esq., in Support of Natasha Nordahl for Village Justice
To the Editor:
Mar. 14, 2018: I am writing to urge Bronxville voters to support the candidacy of Natasha Nordahl for village justice.
I am not a Bronxville resident. However, I did have the privilege of working with Natasha, side by side, day in and day out, for 15 years (2000-2015) as a partner of a New York City law firm from which I am now retired. I headed a complex litigation group of which Natasha was the most integral and reliable part.
In this sense, I believe I have a unique perspective into Natasha’s qualifications for the bench. I support Natasha for two reasons:
First, she is a seasoned litigator with a broad knowledge of New York State court practice. She has a keen intellect. She has an extraordinary ability to distill complex legal issues. In short, she brings a wealth of professional experience that will serve her well as village justice if elected.
Secondly, and more importantly, is Natasha’s strength of character and moral compass. She is even-tempered; the ultimate “solid citizen.” There is a certain steadiness about her that few can match. She inspires confidence.
There is no other person in my professional or personal orbit that I trust or whom I can rely on more. I can pay her no greater compliment.
Natasha belongs on the bench. I hope Bronxville voters will put her there. They will be well served to do so.
Thank you for hearing me out.
Lawrence R. Green, Esq.
Millburn, N.J.

Letters Directory
Bronxville is a quaint village (one square mile) located just 16 miles north of midtown Manhattan (roughly 30 minutes on the train) and has a population of approximately 6,500. It is known as a premier community with an excellent public school (K-12) and easy access to Manhattan. Bronxville offers many amenities including an attractive business district, a hospital (Lawrence Hospital), public paddle and tennis courts, fine dining at local restaurants, two private country clubs and a community library.
While the earliest settlers of Bronxville date back to the first half of the 18th century, the history of the modern suburb of Bronxville began in 1890 when William Van Duzer Lawrence purchased a farm and commissioned the architect, William A. Bates, to design a planned community of houses for well-known artists and professionals that became a thriving art colony. This community, now called Lawrence Park, is listed on the National register of Historic Places and many of the homes still have artists’ studios. A neighborhood association within Lawrence Park called “The Hilltop Association” keeps this heritage alive with art shows and other events for neighbors.
Bronxville offers many charming neighborhoods as well as a variety of living options for residents including single family homes, town houses, cooperatives and condominiums. One of the chief benefits of living in “the village” is that your children can attend the Bronxville School.
The Bronxville postal zone (10708, known as “Bronxville PO”) includes the village of Bronxville as well as the Chester Heights section of Eastchester, parts of Tuckahoe and the Lawrence Park West, Cedar Knolls, Armour Villa and Longvale sections of Yonkers. Many of these areas have their own distinct character. For instance, the Armour Villa section has many historic homes and even has its own newsletter called “The Villa Voice” which reports on neighborhood news.
