DETROIT -- A former state housing official has been accused of stealing more than $1 million from the Michigan State Housing Development Authority.

Detroit, no less...JFK
Those white males will be our downfall
Crooks in the 'burbs...
Hard to comment on this without being called a racist. My Mother had a pretty trenchant saying about this sort of thing, but I can't repeat it.
Low income in Washtenaw? Must be rat pockets of ulra-blue Ann Arbor (Ypsi) where liberals create their usual poverty.
Here in north Washtenaw, It's redder than the star Antares.
Bingo!
Loved your reply....next line will be: She only steal to help out her poor aging Grandmother...who it will be discovered has raised her 6 illegitimate kids, half who are now in prison!!
Hmmm, no mention of political party. Let me guess.
I'm betting it not just sitting in her bank account, either.
The charging documents filed Monday also indicate that authorities intend to seize Cotton's home as property obtained through the proceeds she embezzled. Property records show Cotton purchased the 5,237-square-foot home in April 2004 for $830,000.
she's really going to know housing now
New Orleans is tops, but Detroit is a close second banana republic.
Thats what I call living in high "cotton".
Well, darn. I was hoping to get a half million for my "cool cities" hot dog stand on my boat. There's always couscous stands, I guess.
Namer Ping
So much for section 8 housing in her county!!! It's pretty bad to steal from the poor and the poor taxpayers at the same time. She should serve double time, I think!
