LOOKS LIKE FORMER COUNTY EXECUTIVE ROB ASTORINO WAS RIGHT AFTER ALL....

LOHUD - Federal monitor: Westchester "substantially met its obligations" in housing case -- The federal monitor singled out the town of Harrison and village of Pelham Manor for failing to make any changes to its zoning codes, "meaning that potentially exclusionary zoning remains in place."

Tax Watch columnist David McKay Wilson unpacks housing monitor Stephen Robinson's long-awaited report.

The federal housing monitor overseeing Westchester’s compliance with a 2009 consent order said the county had “substantially met its obligations under the settlement.”

His pronouncement was met immediately with a rebuke by the man who filed the initial lawsuit that challenged the county's housing policies.

And the monitor singled out 14 predominantly white suburban communities for not doing enough to encourage affordable housing.

Monitor Stephen Robinson made the comments in his report to the US District Court for the Southern District late Tuesday, his first filing in the case since he was appointed almost four years ago. MORE AT Federal monitor says Westchester County complied in housing case. (lohud.com)
