(WHITE PLAINS, NY) “After years of wasting Westchester taxpayer money, and 10 attempts at submitting an acceptable analysis of impediments, it seems the 11th time is the charm for the County Executive. The difference now is that this attempt comes on the heels of Lynne Patton’s, a former Eric Trump Foundation event planner, appointment as HUD Region II Administrator.

“Regardless of what the County Executive announced today, there is a continued need for fair and affordable housing in our communities - strong economic development can only occur if people can afford to live here. This is why our caucus has continually advocated for a county-wide housing needs assessment to fully understand where our needs are and how we can best address them together.”
