Different Kind of HOA, Same Old Corruption

Egads! In Brooklyn a non-profit foreclosure-prevention outfit is officially named The Homeowners Association. With all the bad stuff going on in HOAs around the country wouldn’t you think they’d choose a different name?

Maybe it was a Freudian slip? State officials are accusing the head of this outfit of diverting taxpayer dollars into her personal assets. Sounds like a Homeowners Association to me!
