    Maybe Bozek was right? Low income housing at every stop of the boondoggle bus?

    Someone ought to ask Lisa Royce how much the Housing Authority spent on consultants just to get this small pot of money? Hundreds of thousands of dollars to get a new community center? How about the money needed to get rid of the decrepit housing stock? HOPE VI was just reauthorized and nothing for NB? Just keep handing out more money and services and see if they will ever go away? Never! Just like feeding feral cats people, they always come back for more. So training these folks for jobs will not make them leave, I'll bet you $10,000k!
