501 S. B StWell the owner of 501 S. B Street is asking for over $36,000 from the CRA in Grant money. She can’t get that much money but apparently the CRA has put this on the Agenda to approve giving Mary Demers, the owner, $22,619.82 of OUR money. For what: Well she wants a Home Repair Grant and a Beautification Grant for the following:
Pressure cleaning and paint costing $2,875
Extensive landscaping including an irrigation system costing $12,364.65
Siding and foundation repair which exceeds $15,000
Electrical services costing $4,050
And last but not least, a NEW WATER HEATER costing $1,000.
The owner of this property bought it in March 1992 for $45,000. She just got homesteaded last year. She is now going to get one-half of the amount she paid for this house from us, you and me, Joe Blow taxpayer. Probably one-half of our city population would die to live in a house this nice.
This is just one case of several coming up on the Consent Agenda at tomorrow's CRA meeting.
Is anything WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE?
