Sheltering Arms Senior Services
won a contract worth $22.3 million
in stimulus funds to weatherize homes
of low-income families in Houston, but
a new report from Texas Watchdog
reveals the work performed was so
shoddy that 33 of 53 homes
will need to be fixed.
The contract,
awarded under the American Recovery
and Reinvestment Act, is the second largest
weatherization contract in Texas, running
through March 2012.
Yet with nearly two years left
on the agreement, Sheltering Arms
Senior Services is already under fire

We Don't need
no stinking budget resolution,
says the Global Commie Unionist
Corporate Criminal Regime :
House Majority Leader
Steny Hoyer (D-MD) once said
that the "most basic responsibility
of governing is to pass a budget."
Yesterday it became clear
that Congress has decided to
shirk that responsibility, as word
broke that the House likely will not
pass a budget resolution for the first
time since the modern budget process
was created in 1974.
That's earthshaking news,
especially given the ballooning
federal spending, which soared
to an $82.69 billion deficit in April,
a projected $1.5 trillion deficit in 2010,
and even more deficits as far as
the eye can see.
Like any American's household budget
that tracks income and expenses, budget
resolutions set a framework for Congress'
taxing and spending.
But it's a framework
that the leadership in the
House would rather do without
