$150 Mil from Feds for Blight Removal. Roy Roberts Named 'Blight Czar'

[313WX]

Any money from the feds comes with strings dictating the purpose of the money [[and it is illegal to divert it to another purpose).

Exactly. Money from the Feds has a very specific purpose. Sorry to be harsh towards the other poster, but I hear the same silly comments from folks all the time..."oh they should use the money for ____very difficult to fix problem____"

No. As much as id love to see more investment in teachers and schools, that's a big structural problem for the state to figure out. You need to get good mileage out of federal money and demolition or construction of whatever it is you need is a perfectly good use of that money.

The only time the fed should give bailouts to fund city operations is when public safety is in extreme crisis.

Did either of you read his question?

He said if YOU had $150 Million dollars to DONATE. He's not talking about the Federal funds.
