Follow The Money...

Something fishy is going on, this pissing match between the N.Y. Gov. and the N.Y. Mayor just seemed a little personal. So i did a little digging. It seems there's a lot of interest in Homeless shelters, and i mean Interest (Dividends) 70 new shelters are waiting for contracts, some up and running in the city. At 200+ beds a piece, and HRA(Taxpayers) paying up to $4,000.00 per family per month...That's roughly $56,000,000 per month in revenue for the owner of these facilities. So then you start peeling these layers down, and you start seeing building contracts, zoning, Special Interest groups, Unions, and Lobbyists all have a hand in this deal gone bad. Or has it gone bad. A chance to rake in millions a month in revenue isn't that bad, Is it? Even at the expense of 15,000 families, thousands of landlords, and countless other trickle down victims?
