This is noteworthy; actual reporting doesn't happen often in Milwaukee.
At risk of bankruptcy and illegally using federal dollars.
That's the new reality for the Housing Authority of the City of Milwaukee (HACM) according to the agency's chief financial officer (CFO).
On Friday, TMJ4's Jenna Rae broke the story on HACM's financial woes....
... Last week, we learned from HACM's CFO that the agency was illegally using Section 8 federal funding to pay its own employees....
... for months, TMJ4 has been trying to get answers from Milwaukee's Mayor, Cavalier Johnson.
"Since 2019, they've [HACM] been using Section 8 funding to pay for its own employees salaries, how long has your office known about this," Rae asked Johnson.
"You broke the story that you just mentioned, and that came about because after the new people that I appointed to the housing authority board, the changes that have happened over in the housing authority, the new CFO was able to go in and dig that information up, so that became new to us," Johnson replied....
While we all know that Mayor Johnson is as dumb as a box of rocks, we do NOT believe his "see no, hear no, speak no" act. Willie Hines bailed out for a reason; he knew that the Feds--under Trump--will probably be prosecuting him. Hines would probably still be there except for the results of the election. If Harris had won, Hines would still be pulling his $250,000 annual salary.
Think Johnson didn't hear the rumors?
Jenna Rae's work here is hardly done, but she's off to a great start.
