Former Alphonso Jackson HUD Sec, Orlando Cabrera, then-assistant secretary resigned this year in disgrace as they were involved in corruption themselves (Philadelphia Mayor and FHA). Kim Kendrick
was involved and amazingly is still at HUD. Look what she is doing with our money now. But first alittle about Kim from an article:

"HUD Officials Caught Bullying State Employees Members of the Bush Administration have once again been caught strong-arming government officials into abiding by their policies. In an email exchange, two top political appointees at the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) discussed ways to make the life of Philadelphia's housing director Carl R. Greene miserable after he refused a request to transfer a $2 million piece of city property to a business friend of the HUD Secretary.

"Would you like me to make his life less happy? If so, how?" Orlando J. Cabrera, then-assistant secretary at HUD wrote about Philadelphia housing director Carl R. Greene.
"Take away all of his Federal dollars? : D" responded Kim Kendrick, an assistant secretary who oversaw accessible housing.

Thanks for using our taxpayer money to finace ACORN KIM! At the core of the ACORN is HUD.
