BDB knew about the NYCHA mess for quite some time

From the Wall Street Journal:

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio has known the city’s housing authority wasn’t complying with lead-inspection regulations since last year, his office said Sunday.

In a report issued last week, the city’s Department of Investigation said the New York City Housing Authority submitted false claims to the federal government showing it had conducted lead-paint inspections when the required work hadn’t been done for years.

The mayor was first informed of “the possibility of non-compliance” in March 2016, his office said.

Mr. de Blasio, a Democrat who was re-elected to a second term on Nov. 7, has said “operations executives” were responsible for the lapses.

The housing authority notified City Hall that the agency wasn’t in compliance with local laws in April 2016 and with U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development rules in July, according to de Blasio spokeswoman Olivia Lapeyrolerie.

“As part of the agency’s response, NYCHA inspected every apartment with kids under 6 where there may have been lead paint in 2016 and will do so again by the end of 2017,” Ms. Lapeyrolerie said.


Meanwhile, all this is costing us taxpayers a ton of cash.

Oh, and lying, lots of lying to the feds.

Only 2 weeks since election day and without Mayor Big Slow in NYC and there's already a scandal.

de Faustio thinks he pull this forgetful bullshit off because him and his crooked aides got away with Rivington House. Not with this though, these are poor people whose lives and their kids lives were endangered because of willful neglect and deceit.

These pigs have got another thing comin'

I have said this many times, deBlasio is the flip-side of the Trump coin. The Republicans have Trump and the Democrats have deBlasio, twin sons of different mothers.

There is no hope for NYC, for those who voted for him or did not vote, please stop complaining.

To quote de BLASS-hole's new BFF, Bull$hitlary: ❝What difference does it make?❞

After all, a vile, arrogant, unresponsive, openly hostile, mendacious and empowered, DemonRat idiot like him, who has no regard, much less respect, for the media (and ZERO respect for his ever languishing constituency) has continually (and continuously) lied, cheated and stolen――EASIER THAN HE BREATHES―and, REWARDED FOR MONSTROUS, TRAITOROUS PATHOLOGY, WITHOUT CONSEQUENCE!

It's also the reason for why violent crime, lawlessness and vigilantism has been steadily climbing since another filthy crud like Bloomberg held ALL New York City residence in a 12-year 'Hijack-and-Hostage' holding pattern that now forges ahead (to destroy the remnants of a rapidly destroyed American middle class), under this CRIMINALLY INSANE administration of epic, humanitarian (and ecological) fail. What an errant government tragedy this unfunny clown is, and one who isn't even interesting enough to make me sick! Men have been hanged for LESS!

This quote is more relevant now even more so than when it was first said. SO TRUE.

People hate illegal Mexicans (or any other immigrants for that matter) in this country, yet love the corporations and elitists who have shipped good paying jobs to other countries.

People hate those opposed to the worst and most inadequate President in history, BUT love asshole Trump and his elitist administration as they screw over the poor and the middle class with an awful tax cut, while making the 1% even richer.

WAKE UP FOLKS, you are being played like a finely tuned violin. This is smack in your face, yet you still don't see this.

Typical misinformed or not informed at all asshole who bought into the whole Trump kool-aid and of course hides behind "anonymous" spouting typical nothing. I am sure Trump has a position for you in his hack administration, brains not needed, just gullibility and ability to follow the leader.

Hey, Joe. Do you really think you're the only one with eyes? C'mon.
