How Safe are your Children?

    Cornerstone Corporation manages Rockland Place Apts. in Rockland, Massachusetts as agents of First Hartford Realty Corp.   Residents were told that background checks would be performed through Strategic Information Resources, Inc. of Springfield, Mass. 

     So what is the point of background checks when ex-cons, sexual deviants, and drug dealers are allowed on this subsidized multifamily property?

  Timothy Dalton is a Level 3 sex offender at Rockland Place Apts. dba Spring Gate, with an address listing of 45B Hannah Way, Rockland.

Is Barney Frankly Speaking?

     Read the recent Boston Globe article:  In 2010, Barney Frank hopes to abolish Fannie and Freddie.
     In 2003, Massachusetts Representative, Barney Frank (D), stated Fannie and Freddie weren't in a financial crisis, and were financially sound.  Despite warnings, he saw no problem with these government-run lenders. (See video.)

Regulating Salt Intake

Have you heard the U.S. government now wants to regulate our salt intake?  I could see it now.  When property managers of HUD subsidized housing perform their annual, bi-annual, or monthly apartment inspections, they will now have the excuse to rummage through residents' cupboards to keep track of hidden salt containers.  Give me a break!

   I think before our government decides to regulate anymore of our personal lives, they need to effectively regulate the illegal drugs stored and sold on their subsidized properties.  If ever they succeed at keeping that promise, then maybe we can talk about government salt regulations.  No?
