A reader left a comment about ETPA (the Emergency Tenant Protection Act) that was unfortunately, rife with error. The reader is encouraged to do a little more fact-checking with their sources because....Ossining repealed its ETPA in March. This was an ongoing process and there were many articles citing, among other things, the fact that it is home owners who pay the burden of costs associated with ETPA. 

Examiner News--ETPA Repealed in Village of Ossining Amid Allegations--claims of unfairness, class warfare, etc.....among the highlights, County Executive Latimer, in a letter sent to the Village Board on January 25, requested trustees temporarily suspend any action on ETPA since the county is preparing to undertake a study.  “We are engaged in an effort to expand affordable housing options across the many municipalities across the county, as we seek to satisfy the requirements of the fair housing lawsuit,” Latimer wrote....The Ossining Board Repealed ETPA anyway.

As for Latimer's most recent position on affordable housing throughout the county, read the Lohud article here.

To the reader who wishes we had a children's clothing store in the Upper Village, we HAD such a store there just a few short years ago.  As to why we no longer have one, click here.  If, however, you truly believe that such a business would succeed now, you are encouraged to make the financial commitment and open one as soon as possible.
