WHO: Leaders of River Hills Village in Milwaukee County, Wis. WHAT: The village receives a $20,000 federal block grant every year but has no use for it, so local officials have started trying to lease or even sell the funds to another jurisdiction.
WHY IT’S DIM: Shouldn’t somebody in River Hills Village send the money back to Washington? And has nobody in Washington wondered why the funds are going where they aren’t needed?
CURE: Call the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development public affairs office at 202-708-0980.
