FlintTalk.com Forum Index > Political Talk Topic: HUD tells Flint to pay back grant

Author    Post   Dave Starr F L I N T O I D I see that there's a copy of the letter HUD sent to Flint about terminating the Smith Village grant and demanding repayment of a little over one million dollars at www.flintspotlight.com. Just what Flint needs. Looks like the city has until the end of this month to get HUD approval of a repayment plan. _________________ I used to care, but I take a pill for that now. Pushing buttons sure can be fun. When a lion wants to go somewhere, he doesn’t worry about how many hyenas are in the way. Paddle faster, I hear banjos.

I really thought Dayne would clean house and was hugely disappointed when the same players stayed in place or worse yet were re-hired for positions they were not qualified for. And then to bring all of his friends in that were not qualified really showed me how incompetent he is to lead. It looks to me that the real debt of Flint is around 30 Million dollars. Sun Apr 11, 2010 11:00 am  untanglingwebs El Supremo Watch Monday as Eason and Walling are bringing in new resolutions to change DCED for the worse. He wants to add new people and he has no funding for them. They all are very high exempt positions. Greg Averyhardt quit his job at Salem and is slated to start work for Flint next Monday. He was promised this post during the election. Watch for more pay backs. If they think HUDor the OIG will sit back and watch this dismantling of the experienced personnel and positioning of political cronies, they are mistaken. These positions will come at the cost of police officers.

Everything is being sent to the proper committee. Mon Apr 12, 2010 6:59 pm  untanglingwebs El Supremo lawler was upset, and rightfully so, when Eason told council that council leadership was informed of the problem. Lawler got the memo from his residents before he got it from the administration. Waybright got it and sent copies to 5th ward block clubs. She also called lawler. The Homeownership Zone is 5th Ward. Poplar tried to defend the Walling administration and Eason.
