The Federal Housing of Urban Development (HUD) has denied a block grant to the mayor’s office for the hiring of Briggette Brown, as a community organizer, because it is a “conflict of interest” even though the mayor had previously claimed that HUD is paying for the position. The conflict came about because Brown’s husband Rha-Sheen Brown is on the New Britain common council.
A city counselor is in a position to make decisions regarding the CDBG funding so it is clearly a conflict of interest, said Rhonda Siciliano, public affairs office for the HUD New England Region. Siciliano also stated it was last summer that Mr.O’Brien was told of the conflict of interest issue in hiring Briggette Brown.
Holy sh*t. I knew Sherwood was a scumbag, but I thought O'Brien had more integrity than to outright lie to voters.
ReplyDeleteIs it a conflict of interest is a council member owes back taxes?
ReplyDeleteApparently if you are a Democrat in this city, it is considered a good political move to not pay your taxes.

Why should the taxpayers fund a position which by its own definition is to be a paid agitator?
ReplyDeleteThe scumbags at The Herald must have been aware of this also, yet they kept it under wraps.
ReplyDeleteBut then again, what can you expect from beer chugging communist shoplifters.
