I believe a lot more car sales lots and shopping malls were built with "redevelopment" funds than rebuilding blighted neighborhoods or building "affordable housing".
In practical usage, it's just another crony packed scam ripping off the taxpayer.

Went to the state capitol today...via Bicycle
Distributed our position paper 123 to the committee members, and the authors office actually treated me best; very welcoming Next, I sat in on a labor and employment committee hearing, then commented on two pieces of legislation. 1) minimum wage increase 2) Labor contractor bill In both instances, I took a nuetral position, but added our concerns about day laborers and the undeground economy. and how this legislation, or any legislation is not addressing that. There will probably be video tomorrow Also met the man who partnered up with us during the student march in march. He gave me the chip with the videos, and I struggling to convert them because we don't have the program. I'm sure I'll manage something though. Maybe video tonight Bike ride home....hot today, and I'm under-performing these days. I don't know how many miles it is each way, but it's quite well over 10. No parking ticket troubles though. 1 big drawback is you cannot pull the sign trailer with the bike |

Thank you so much AG for both posting this State Meeting and for representing SOS. You certainly got the message across, and that you made them very uncomfortable by confronting them with the fact that they're not giving the "underground economy" any attention except to protect the illegals working on farms. Great job!!!!
