After 2 years of hearing comments about my "personal" agenda and about loving being in the media. I am happy that the tenants of 150 Secatogue will finally get their chance to be heard in a court of law.

Hofstra housing discrimination suit can proceed, judge says
BY BART JONES
July 9, 2008
A federal judge yesterday ruled Hofstra law school can move forward with a federal housing discrimination lawsuit alleging Farmingdale engaged in a campaign to drive Latinos, including day laborers, from their community.

Judge Denis Hurley of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York handed down the ruling, the latest development in the long-running battle focusing on an apartment building that for years was the heart of Farmingdale's "Little Latin America."

Hurley denied a motion by the village to dismiss the lawsuit, filed by the law school's housing unit on behalf of former tenants at 150 Secatogue Ave.

I would like the Village of Farmingdale residents to ask their Village officials how much money have they spent defending this lawsuit. It seems that this subject is never brought up at the Village meetings.
