When it comes to political government jobs, those bass turds are in it for themselves to see how big a nest egg they can build.

Think of the late Joe Tex.

Are there any words in that headline that aren’t redundant?

[DIRTYSECRET]

Her timing is good. Deporting is in the news these days.

[DeplorablePaul]

Does this mean that she’ll miss Mayor Wu’s racist POC holiday party?

Tania Fernandes Anderson, City Councilor, District 7
Arrested on Charges of Corruption, Bribery, aiding and abetting wire fraud and one count of aiding and abetting theft concerning a program receiving federal funds.

Tania Fernandes Anderson was born in Cape Verde. At the age of 10, she immigrated from Cape Verde to Roxbury, two places that she says formed the foundation of her unwavering commitment to the community. Councilor Anderson was elected to the Boston City Council on November 2, 2021, becoming the first African immigrant and Muslim-American elected to the Boston City Council. She proudly represents District 7, consisting of Roxbury, Dorchester, Fenway, and part of the South End.

Before serving as Councilor, Tania was the Executive Director of Bowdoin Geneva Main Streets, a parent advocate with the Boston Public Schools, program manager for a homeless women’s shelter, a business owner, and a child social worker. She has also been a foster mom to 17 kids while raising two biological children. The equitable distribution of mental health services has always been near to the Councilor’s heart, which is why she founded Noah’s Advocate. Noah’s Advocate is a trauma-informed mental health nonprofit that serves underrepresented communities. Tania is also the founder of a non-profit that supports at-risk youth through theatre, fashion, and art. The nonprofit’s shows and performances routinely sell out the historic Strand Theatre in Dorchester.

Councilor Anderson is passionate about economic opportunity and mobility, particularly for those who have been disenfranchised and left seeking opportunities and support from the margins. She will work to help create good jobs and stronger support systems for small business entrepreneurs because she believes that fostering and cultivating economic development and growth in Boston's small business districts is one of the paths to addressing the racial wealth gap.

As Councilor, Tania will work to ensure that Municipal Government is actively working for the people of Boston. Councilor Anderson is committed to enhancing constituent services for District 7 residents, prioritizing affordable homeownership, monitoring development, so residents are not displaced, centering District 7’s Age Strong population through aging with dignity support programs and initiatives, and multigenerational recreation. She will also work to improve the quality of life for residents by making sure that the City’s Covid-19 recovery efforts are equitable, collaborating with public health officials for a comprehensive approach to addressing mental health, violence, and substance abuse issues, decriminalizing our youth and helping to create jobs for their future.

Councilor Anderson is committed to creating a “District 7 Action Plan” that will begin by conducting research on the District’s strengths and weaknesses. Data generated from the research will then be used to drive meaningful, effective, and efficient responses to district challenges and community concerns. Councilor Anderson is a graduate of the John D. O’Bryant High School of Mathematics and Science in Roxbury and Springfield College. She is the proud mother of a US Marine and a young emerging Artist. In her spare time, Tania enjoys sewing gowns and playwriting.

Now, shine a light on Tim Walz.
The 450 million dollar Feeding Our Future scam was his baby. He won’t talk about it.
Where did the money go? Who has been held accountable? Who has been fired? Who has been arrested? How much has been recovered, if any?
So many questions.

That pix was the PR version. Here, to "round out" the imagery....

It seems the “strong black women” who have been elected as mayors of some cities over the past few years, are discovering you can’t just take over the position and publicly and brazenly steal money from the till.

To get away with it and be able to squirrel away untraceable funds for retirement, you have to be more circumspect with your corruption and not make your crimes so obvious. Such crimes require finesse, lots of patience, and often must be done over years or even decades. Stealing from the public coffers is not something that can be rushed.

Yup—DEI has created some really dumb thieves.

Any half-baked audit of any public funds will catch them by the truck-load.

Note to incoming Trump administration.

You need an on site detailed audit of every public housing authority in the country.

The only downside is you may need more prisons to hold all the corrupt officials who run them.

[DPMD]

And they can never have enough, witness the “lifetime appointments” to office for the likes of Pelosi, Waters, Lofgren, Warren and every member of the CBC. Dying in office is the ultimate goal.

[metmom]

*former illegal immigrant*????

I wonder......

[Vaduz]

Well another one busted for taking the party oath of corruption and bribery who knew.

No more gold bars for that one just the steel ones.

[Gaffer]

That’s what I was thinking. Probably schemed some kind of fake marriage to a US Citizen and got ‘legal.’

She got the city to give an employee a $13K bonus and then took half of it back in cash from the awardee..... yer basic Democrat politician.

[dfwgator]

Just giving the folks in Boston what they voted for.

[Seruzawa]

Addressing mental health issues means giving more $ to shrinks to put more people on drugs who later shoot up more schools and workplaces.
