Would you like a HUD Project built next door to you?

Unfortunately, over 1,100 American neighborhoods are under assault--not
from gangs or criminals--but from our own federal government. The
recent proposed settlement between Westchester County and the Department
of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is an outrageous document which
reflects the radical ideologies of the government bureaucrats and
elected officials who concocted it. The settlement would give tremendous power
to a HUD "Monitor," who could pre-empt any local ordinances that stand
in the way of HUD's notion of how a neighborhood should be configured.

Phil Reisman, "Spano signs power over to Obama in HUD deal" Spano, a self-described loyal Democrat, doesn't want to alienate the Obama-ites who clearly are making Westchester out to be some kind of a national example of unfair housing policies. With Election Day looming, his interest is to quickly ram this settlement through the Board of Legislators, which was left out of the legal proceedings and is only this week trying to decipher what the agreement means. That guy looking over their collective shoulder is Big Brother. Gerald McKinstry "With landmark housing settlement, many questions remain - like where are the units going".
