Lynne Patton is HUD Regional Administrator who gives a damning revelation of New York City's corrupt and corroding Public Housing (New York City Public Housing Authority - NYCHA) which has made the lives of the poor in that city into a nightmare.
So this Video title should expand to say: Diamond and Silk Exclusive Interview with Lynne Patton about the waste fraud and abuse of NY City's public housing funds and the horrible conditions in that city's public housing.
(Realize many here are rightly offended that our tax dollars go to such causes at all....but this interview is about the huge waste, fraud, and abuse that comes from the corrupt New York City (Democratic) administration. )
HUD Secretary Ben Carson and the President are doing their best to monitor how this HUD money ($30 million per week plus more per month/year) is getting spent because it is not going to help the people it is intended to help.
And this is just the tip of the iceberg. But at least there is NOW an effort being made to end the HUD money corruption in New York City.
Of course, Public Housing in New York City is administered by THE DEMOCRATIC MAYOR of NY City.
This is just ONE example of billions of taxpayer money going into the pockets of union members, union bosses, and the politicians whom they support.
(Listen to the video to find out how the unions are collecting money fraudulently and how the Trump administration is going to stop their theivery.)
Thanks for posting this.
NYCHA is the size of the city of Miami (budget wise, I believe).
One in ten New Yorkers lives in public housing.
The mayor of NYC is “not doing a good job” (understatement) with the HUD money which is supposed to go to repairs and maintenance and administration of HUD properties.
President Trump is (understandably) angry about this waste, fraud and abuse of taxpayer dollars and the resulting degradation for the people who live in public housing.
You are welcome. Thanks for reading and watching.
Public housing, in and of itself, is unconstitutional and a blight on society. It breeds corruption and crime.
You can’t even ask on the application if they are American citizens.
Last year 82% of all NYCHA residents lost heat and hot water.
They live in rat infested, roach infested, black mold filled, buildings with broken elevators...
This administration cares about the poor and the Democrats do not! This video needs to be seen by more than the 20,000 or so viewers that have seen it on youtube.
Show it do any Democrats you know who still believe the Democrats are the party of “compassion for the poor.”
Yes it is.
BUt it is a reality so at least President Trump/Ben Carson are trying to correct SOME of the waste fraud and abuse of this system.
THat’s right.
God Bless Lynne Patton. She walks the walk and talks the talk. She is going far. The Corruption of public housing should anger everyone!
Yes she does. She lived in NYC public housing for four weeks.....that is a badge of honor for anyone.
We need to bring back a Reagan-era idea, Right to Buy. In inner cities, you take over abandoned buildings (of which there is an abundance), redo them, and sell the units to the poor for small (but significant to them) amounts, so they are owners now and have an investment. Believe me, they’ll take better care of it than Comrade DeBloodio ever would.
Excellent ideas!
I did not realize that the rent on public housing was 30% of income! wow! That is a significant trap to me.
Great idea. Send it in.... :-)
