But in 2009, Westchester County was sued by the federal department of Hous- ing and Urban Development for failing to “affirmatively further fair housing” in its use of federal funds. The consent decree resulted in the county promoting a more restrictive “model ordinance” that adopted the lower standard of 60% of Area Median Income for all rental units, and banned preferences. Rents are set at no more than 30% of the gross household income. In 2012, Tarrytown replaced the “Moderate Income” housing ordinance with the new “Affordable Housing” model ordinance.

The Independent Party nominating petitions are due in August, but those who follow politics in the village say they have not heard of any candidates emerging. The lack of opposition is at least partly a reflection of satisfaction with the jobs being done by these incumbents but even more so an indication of the non-partisan nature of village politics. In his Facebook announcement, Smith referred to an ar- ticle about small town government by KJ Dell’Antonia in the July 2 issue of the New York Times that reads in part: “Americans are fond of saying that all politics is local, but the thing is, when it’s local, it’s not ‘politics.’” Connie Kehoe The clearest political act by the current board was the May adoption of a resolu- tion stating that the village would not co- Kehoe has been a champion of operate with federal immigration efforts Irvington’s all-but-complete Historic to round up undocumented immigrants.
