FAUCI IS AT IT AGAIN: HE'S OVER FOLKS WHO WON'T "ADHERE" TO COVID RULES

BY SPECIAL REQUEST: THE EASTCHESTER ZONING CODE, AFFORDABLE HOUSING TO EXISTING TOWN RESIDENTS, 2021, THE DISCRMINATION LAWSUIT

To the readers requesting this info, this is from mid-2021.  Of course, you should make additional inquiries:

For years, Eastchester’s zoning code provided Section 8 housing preferences to existing town residents, giving them first crack when the federally subsidized units became available. The measure helped older residents age in place by giving them priority for its housing assistance program, officials of the Westchester town said. But in a community that’s about 85 percent white, opponents said it also perpetuated existing racial disparities at the expense of Black and Latino applicants. One of those opponents, the Fair Housing Justice Center, challenged the town’s Section 8 housing preference rule in a lawsuit.

BARBIE DOLLS--THE CROTON CONNECTION

Welcome to The New Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools, our houses of worship--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.

Yes...we admit it unashamedly.....we're big fans of Barbie in all her vintage Wasp-Waisted, Pony-Tail, Black-eyeliner and/or Bubble-Cut glory.  (Click on the photo.)  And we love some of the newer assorted holiday Barbie dolls too.

But we never knew there was any sort of historical  Croton connection until we perused FOREVER BARBIE by M.G. Lord.  The book is not for everyone---whether you are a fan or not---but right there on page 36 was the following about Barbie doll inventor Ruth Handler and....

Page 36

AS STRATEGY SESSIONS BEGAN IN HAWTHORNE, THE Handlers made a brilliant tactical move. They commissioned a toy study from Ernest Dichter, Ph.D., director of the Institute for Motivational Research in Croton-on-Hudson, New York. The study cost a staggering $12,000 and took six months to complete, but when it was finished the charge seemed low. Dichter had masterminded a cunning campaign to peddle Barbie.....

And the rest as they say....is history.

You can find the book, FOREVER BARBIE, BY M.G. LORD, on AMAZON HERE.
