Yippie! The City of While Plains did NOT buy a country club during a "national debt crisis"!

In an e-mail message from CNA (Council of Neighborhood Associations):

The French-American School of New York (FASNY), which currently has 825 students attending its preschool in Scarsdale, lower school in Larchmont and upper School in Mamaroneck, has contracted to buy the Ridgeway Country Club for $11 million.

Great.  As long as the City of While Plains didn't buy it.  That would have been an inexcusable capitulation to the house owners who live near thecountry club.

The French-American School has "preschool in Scarsdale, lower school in Larchmont and upper School in Mamaroneck".  That sort of makes my point that this entire issue was another canard to provide city wide resources for the benefit of the While Plains house owners who live in almost Scarsdale and almost Harrison.

The While Plains Common Council lucked out and was precluded from taking sides in the social divide that is the main problem in the governing of the City of While Plains: downtown apartment dwellers v. suburban house owners who have dominated the Common Council for decades to the extreme detriment of downtown residents.
