“Some aldermen have said a hoard of money at the Chicago Housing Authority is evidence someone needs to keep a closer watch on the agency,” WBBM Newsradio reports.
“WBBM Newsradio Political Editor Craig Dellimore reports Ald. Proco Joe Moreno (1st) is one of at least 15 aldermen backing an ordinance that would give the City Council more oversight over the CHA.
They’re hoarding this money while we have citizens out there looking for housing. How dare they? How dare they?” Moreno said.
Moreno couldn’t talk more because he was late for his meeting chairing the city council’s TIF oversight committee.
Oh, wait. That doesn’t exist.

“In a statement, CHA officials said Chief Executive Officer Michael Merchant already has taken steps to make the agency’s dealings more transparent.”
Like issuing statements instead of simply not commenting.
*
“On Tuesday, the CHA announced it would make quarterly public progress reports.”
And by quarterly, they mean every 25 years.

The intellectual dishonesty of partisan Democrats is amazing. (Flashback to same statement about Republicans under Bush).
