Do it or we won't fund you response from HUD.

<<"Rosen was elected on what I describe as an anti-housing platform," the HUD official said. "We saw this mayoral election as really taking a step backward. The secretary wanted to make sure that he did not see that happen.">>

WHICH secretary? Obama's, I'd bet.

News articles are now saying Galveston's giving in. Those projects were centers of crime.

Isn't this at odds with the Obamacare ruling that said government couldn't make one plan contingent on another?

This is one of the biggest things wrong with government. They're pussies.

Yes, good point.

And it is RP's district. However Galveston used to be a Democrat stronghold until 2010 and its not surprising they want the funds. However, this way of working things out is a huge problem.
