Lake I Gets Its Purchase Orders from Venezuelan Money
posted (September 23, 2009)

Housing Minister Michael Finnegan left the country for Detroit Michigan today, but on his way to the airport it seems, he stopped in at the office of Lake Independence PUP area Representative Cordel Hyde and delivered 106 purchase orders for home improvement in that division. They amount to $451,298 which represents the full disbursement for Lake Independence. Five Lake Independence residents will also benefit for low income homes. These are all monies approved under the Venezuelan Housing grant.

The news came via a government press release and we suspect the intent is to show even-handedness, by demonstrating that a PUP division received its full and fair share of the grant funds.
