From the "It's finally affecting the freeloaders" file.
We've all probably heard about this so called "migrant" encampment on tribal land in Riverside county by now, but for those who haven't, it was sold as a story about migrant farmworkers moved to tribal land at the benevolence of an indian tribe. The workers lived in less than admirable buildings, so they county used redevelopment money to rebuild their homes. Imagine that...Indians getting redevelopment money from California taxpayers to build permanent homes for temporary workers. That is what "migrants" are supposed to be, eh? Migrating to work?
But anyway, the redevelopment funds are gone now, siezed by the state to pay its' own bills, and the indians are bawling because they aren't going to get the 12 million to upgrade their property so they can rent it out to likely illegals. You gotta love the numers here. Read the article and notice how many people they have to cram into the amount of units they were to build with tax money.

California has rescinded redevelopment funding that Riverside County officials had long planned to use for the purchase of 181 new mobile homes in a new area for the remaining 1,500 residents who live without paved streets or hot water in Desert Mobile Home Park, more commonly called Duroville, the Desert Sun and Riverside Press-Enterprise reported.
