I don't think it was him.
What is a police department 'director'? If that position is not in the published staffing pattern, Pickering should look into it. Obviously a relative of the mayor.
And still no arrest of certain individuals involved in the misuse of millions of dollars in CDBG funds passed out to the connected dear friends that Pickering is or should be aware of. Also those that conspired with the Walkers to sell their properties for many times market value are walking the streets and probably hiding the ill gotten money as we post. Pickering will always ride in on that white horse to announce the arrest of the bookkeeper or assistant manager and see that they pay full restitution after prison. He has no problem letting millions go uncollected like the misused money at the Marine Resource Foundation.
"And still no arrest of certain individuals involved in the misuse of millions of dollars in CDBG funds passed out to the connected dear friends that Pickering is or should be aware of"
11:49, please elaborate.
11:58 there are many projects that were funded with CDBG money passed out by MDA that went to people who did not perform as agreed to. Some properties are now being resold to other parties for pennies on the dollar. Infrastructure was funded and built in areas where it was not needed because of certain connected landowners. Now sewer treatment facilities and water towers sit unused while current rate payers have to pay the cost of upkeep for these. Certain engineering firms were hired and given a disproportionate share of the millions spent at the direction of their political friends. Then they dictated the placement to benefit others but not the general coastal population even over the objections of many local politicians who knew what was needed. I could go on because there is so much more. This will blow like an active volcano at some point. Feds are already on the inside of a lot of this. Pickering will not touch it because of where it goes and who it involves.
5:16 - that's "elaborating" but only bs; no details. If you can give any specifics, that's one thing. Throwing around shit like this belongs in a horse stall. HUD (the source of the CDBG funds) a federal agency certainly not friendly to those that you are accusing of benefiting improperly, does not agree with your assessment. Their response to the HUD IG audit is certainly different than yours. What exactly do you know that they don't know about?
And we all know that HUD is a stellar federal agency. LMAO
6:03 Can you say OIG. Once you learn what that stands for read up on the agency because you and everyone else will be hearing a lot more about OIG soon. You can also read recent published articles about the CDBG funds being questioned by HUD. Lots of specifics or as you will say BS. You must be involved
"HUD (the source of the CDBG funds) a federal agency certainly not friendly to those that you are accusing of benefiting improperly, does not agree with your assessment. Their response to the HUD IG audit is certainly different than yours. What exactly do you know that they don't know about?"
rotlmfao
Do I hear a hog at the trough?
As someone very involved in the States CDBG program. I can say with great confidence, 5:16 doesn't know what the hell he is talking about.
K.F didn't like my hog at the trough comment.
If you want something done about it. Give specifics. If you don't know specifics, but only hearsay. Then maybe just shut up
Like it's a lack of specifics that prevent getting something done about this type of thing. Oink oink.
1. No one knows nutthin.
2. If we only had laws agin this type stuff allways happenin.
3. Audits? What audits?
http://www.sunherald.com/2014/01/02/5229302/hud-audit-questions-states-post.html For starters read this recent article for some more specifics on the misuse of CDBG money that is currently under investigation by the Feds. Many have been interviewed and those that have would tell you that this is a very serious matter that has cost the taxpayers tens of millions because of the mismanagement and misuse by many. Maybe people like 7:56 are in denial which is not a legal defense.
That someone @ 7:45 involved in the States CDBG program sure got quiet after he/she read the Sunherald article. I agree this program and who gets the money is full of conflicts and bad decisions by MDA. The Port of Gulfport, Harrison County Utility Authority and many failed or fraudulent long term workforce housing developments are proof of somebody not knowing what the hell they were doing or maybe knowing exactly what they were doing.Of course you see this a lot when its the peoples money.
That article does not justify fraud accusations at all. They were HUDs projections. You expect the State to turn down HUD money because HUD is full of idiots? Again. Give specifics, or shut the hell up.
where would you like to start oh rude one?
