Statement from Senate Democratic Conference Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins Regarding County Executive Rob Astorinos Actions Costing Westchester $5.2 Million In Federal Housing Grants
New York State has a proud history of diversity and fighting discrimination. I am deeply disappointed that the county I represent is being denied over $5 million dollars in federal funding because our County Executive, Rob Astorino, has not figured out a way to work with federal officials to ensure that the county complies with all federal housing laws especially the antidiscrimination regulations. ### Follow on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/NYSenDems New York State Senate | DemocraticConferenceNews@nysenate.gov | 518-455-2415
