Kiryas Yoel suit

Kiryas Joel devoloper suing over anti semitisim.

Herald Record :

A lawyer for two Hasidic businesses involved in a construction dispute with the town has filed papers suggesting anti-Semitism is to blame, prompting an angry denial by the town supervisor...
"..Hasidic Jews whose outward appearance evidences their religious orientation."
Elsewhere, the notice mentions comments by Planning Board members that "were made in an effort to stop completion of the building on the premises that will be used by persons of the Jewish faith."...
Some recent disputes have prompted cries of bias against Hasidim, along with furious denials. Bohan himself courted controversy last year by calling Kiryas Joel a "parasite community.
Bohan, meanwhile, has asked the town attorney to send a complaint about Lynch to the state Bar Association. "If this is the way we're going to have to look at every building application that comes in from somebody from Kiryas Joel, then guess what?" he said. "The war is on."


Who is winning "the war"?!
