Tenafly Barry Honig

Barry Honig was often at odds with Mayor Peter Rustin on political issues and the sole dissenting vote on various decisions.

On local issues, he was a proponent of a referendum on the Tenafly Nature Center expansion, a strong opponent of a light-rail proposal in the borough, and a stickler about saving taxpayer money. Honig also began a website devoted to taping council meetings because, he said, the mayor didn’t want the meetings aired on cable television.
