A twisted tale of government
getting in its own way

To see a twisted tale of government getting in its own way, look no further than Palm Beach County's efforts to turn $7.5 million in federal stimulus money into a homeless center.

Federal restrictions on the Neighborhood Stabilization Program grant are so confining as to make success nearly impossible.

West Palm Beach has a surplus building, a former medical office complex well situated to serve the homeless. The city, based on an appraisal, agreed to sell it to the county for $1.48 million. But the county conducted two additional appraisals that put the price at $2 million. The federal government requires the county to offer $2 million, even though the city already has said that it would accept $1.48 million.

And there's more stimulus red tape to unsnarl. Read the Palm Beach Post editorial here.

Good luck on your voting in Orlando. One of the so called claimed News sites, Marinade Dave's is not a news site. I am sorry, but you need to get your true votes out there and vote for you as he has his people on his site making up new emails and screen names and voting numerous times aday. If I were you I would contact Orlando sentinel as it is not a true voting system.
