2theadvocate.com | Some Metro Council members didn’t vote for HUD funding | Should go to the Louisiana Housing Finance Agency – “the Professionals”?

Posted on October 23, 2008 by Sharon Kramer

Some Metro Council members didn’t vote for HUD funding.
 
This money is to go to non-profits and church groups to build housing but one metro council member thinks it should go to the Louisiana Housing Finance Agency – “the Professionals”.
 
These are the “Professionals” who were involved in the sale of Jefferson Lakes Apartments (managed by Riverstone Residential) in Baton Rouge and knew a toxic mold report was done at the time of the sale showing high levels of molds in the HVAC units and visible mold growth in many apartments.  
 
These are the “Professionals” who ignored this report and still allow people to move into these highly toxic apartments even though their job is “to provide safe and affordable housing” .
 
Since no one seems to be bothered by this and they are still allowed to knowingly and criminally expose people including babies and children to high levels of toxins produced by extreme amounts of mold growth in these apartments then it would seem safer for churches, etc. to provide housing.  katy

Toxic Jefferson Lakes Apartments | Riverstone Residential | Louisiana Housing Finance Agency | Local News

Posted on October 23, 2008 by Sharon Kramer

Regarding this post –  https://katysexposure.wordpress.com/2008/10/05/tenants-complain-apt-damage-mold-baton-rouge-la-wafb-news/ – A contnuing public health crisis with overwhelming documented evidence and microbial | fungal | IAQ reports will not be serious enough for any news stations in Baton Rouge, LA to look into.

Why?

It seems the local news stations (whose job is to find and investigate possible news) must be part of one big family which includes Riverstone Residential, The Louisiana Housing Finance Agency, and the courts.  

A family tree with no branches.   katy

Bush Declares National Character Counts Week

Posted on October 19, 2008 by Sharon Kramer

President Bush issued a proclamation on National Character Counts week. It stated:

The strength of our Nation is found in the character of our citizens. During National Character Counts Week, we recommit ourselves to instilling strong values in our youth and encourage all Americans to develop good character.

Like that of super rich Americans, cheating on their taxes? Some 19,000 wealthy Americans stuffed money in offshore UBS Swiss bank accounts, an estimated $20 billion in assets. In August the face of Swiss cheating was released from jail and permitted to return to Geneva.

September saw the financial meltdown, driven by Wall Street greed and leverage. The Bush administration mobilized $3 trillion to help bailout distressed Wall Street firms and unfreeze lending. The jury is out on its success. Today, the U.S. Federal Reserve provided $54 billion to save that same tax cheating UBS.

Apparently, American taxpayers should develop the character to bail out big money boys, and smile doing so. Nevermind our political leaders…
