Orangetown: Stop high-pressure home-sale tactics

October 31, 2018 by Michael Castelluccio

Orangetown Supervisor Chris Day and Assemblywoman Ellen Jaffee ask the state to create a cease and desist zone against aggressive solicitors at Orangetown Town Hall on Oct. 25, 2018. Carucha L. Meuse, cmeuse@lohud.com

Two years after shutting down aggressive door-to-door real estate solicitations, Orangetown wants to do the same thing to what officials call aggressive mailings pressuring residents to sell their homes.

Supervisor Chris Day was joined at Town Hall on Thursday by state Assemblywoman Ellen Jaffee, whose 97th District includes Orangetown, to discuss the problem and what they want to do about it.

Here’s some takeaways from their news conference: [Read more…]

Pascack Ridge plan would benefit one community, burden all of Ramapo, Assemblywoman says

August 24, 2018 by Michael Castelluccio



Ellen Jaffee Re “Ramapo’s Pascack Ridge housing plan continues amid opposition,” Aug. 17 article:

As an elected official, my job is to listen to those I serve and to alleviate, not impose hardships. Many of my constituents have expressed a broad range of concerns regarding the proposed Pascack Ridge development.

There are those who might justify the need for such a massive project to address the shortage of housing in the Town of Ramapo and the growing number of families with children. However, that is not the intent of this project. The proposed development is not a response to the Hillcrest community as a whole, but rather a proposal to create segregated housing in one of the most diverse communities in Rockland County, a community I am proud to represent. Any justification for a project that will benefit only some residents, while imposing an enormous burden on the entire community is nullified. [Read more…]

Chestnut Ridge homeowners can say ‘no’ to real estate solicitations via state list

July 6, 2018 by Michael Castelluccio

“CHESTNUT RIDGE – As residents and officials debate zoning ground rules for houses of worship, they can say “No” to real estate sales people soliciting homes to sell.

Under a state law that took effect Sunday for Chestnut Ridge alone, residents can put their names and addresses to the state cease and desist list.

Those who sign up are telling real estate brokers that under penalty of fines and loss of license, they can’t send mail, call, knock on doors, email, text or in anyway communicate an interest to sell the person’s home. [Read more…]

Jaffee to propose fix for E. Ramapo’s halved term

August 31, 2016 by Michael Castelluccio

“After community outrage followed the halving of an East Ramapo school trustee’s term due to a technical error, state Assemblywoman Ellen Jaffee said she plans to propose a legislative fix to return Sabrina Charles-Pierre’s seat to full term.

Charles-Pierre ran unopposed for a two-year seat that expires in June 2018, but the school board votedin late July to invalidate the term because it discovered she was not sworn in within 30 days of the May board election results being certified. Charles-Pierre was then appointed to a seat that runs out in May 2017. [Read more…]

3 state lawmakers call on St. Lawrence to resign

April 16, 2016 by Michael Castelluccio

“Three state lawmakers from Rockland called Friday for Town Supervisor Christopher St. Lawrence to resign, a day after his arrest by the FBI on federal fraud charges in connection with the financing of the town’s baseball stadium.

State Sen. David Carlucci, Assemblywoman Ellen Jaffee, and Assemblyman Kenneth Zebrowski, in a joint statement, said the charges were disturbing and, if proven true, constitute an egregious breach of his oath of office and responsibilities of his position.

To continue to work in his current capacity only creates further distractions and is a grave disservice to the residents whose faith in their government must be restored, they added.”
