"Migrant Housing Sparks Controversy as Local Residents Face Eviction"

Local officials in Rotterdam, New York, are calling for an investigation into allegations of consumer abuse by the Super 8 Motel after previous residents were evicted and migrants moved in. The motel owner is accused of violating state property laws and failing to provide proper notice to the evicted residents. Assemblyman Angelo Santabarbara has expressed concerns about the lack of communication and consultation with local officials regarding the busing of migrants from New York City to upstate communities, highlighting the strain on local infrastructure and the potential exacerbation of existing poverty and hardship. He urges New York City Mayor Eric Adams to reconsider the current approach and work collaboratively with local officials to find sustainable solutions.
