Yonkers Insider: Statement from Westchester Putnam Chapter of the Working Families Party.

The Westchester-Putnam Chapter of the Working Families Party strongly opposes the draft revised affordable housing ordinance submitted by Yonkers Mayor Mike Spano’s administration to the City Council:

“The proposed ordinance is weak. It does not meet the needs of the vast majority of working families in Yonkers,” said Westchester-Putnam Chapter Chair Peter Bernstein. “We have a housing crisis in Yonkers and the Mayor’s response is to propose an ordinance that doesn’t even meet the minimum requirements of the Westchester County model affordable housing ordinance.”
