NEW FROM EFSP: CHARLES FARRELL

Good-looking American actor Charles Farrell (1900-1990) was a Hollywood matinee idol of the Jazz Age and Depression era. Now, he seems forgotten, but between 1927 and 1934, he formed a very popular team with Janet Gaynor.

They appeared in 12 screen romances, including 7th Heaven (1927), Street Angel (1928), and Lucky Star (1929). Farrell retired from films in the early 1940s, but TV audiences of the 1950s would see him as Gale Storm's widower dad in the popular television series My Little Margie (1952-1955).

State Lawmakers Offer Incentivized Housing Plan Over Hochul Compact

Democratic majorities in the state Senate and Assembly agreed last week to reject Gov. Kathy Hochul’s transit-oriented development component from her proposed Housing Compact, countering with incentives for municipalities that participate in a housing growth plan.

In the legislature’s proposed One House Budget resolutions released last week, communities that sign up for the housing program would have their Aid and Incentives for Municipalities (AIM) funding increased should they meet the targets in the lawmakers’ counter proposal, said Assemblyman Chris Burdick (D-Bedford). There would still be $250 million set aside for infrastructure upgrades in those municipalities and $20 million toward planning assistance.

Burdick said some of the key provisions would remain similar for communities that choose to participate, including a required 3 percent increase in housing stock within three years for municipalities in downstate counties that are serviced by the MTA.
