- LETTERS, Page 16Hustling HUD
-
- Your reporting on how Republicans who formerly held high
- Government office got substantial consulting fees for helping
- developers participate in Housing and Urban Development
- projects (NATION, June 26) is one more reason for my cynicism
- about elected and appointed officials. After they leave the
- Government, they should not be allowed to earn anything from
- dealings involving it.

- I could not believe the cavalier response to the
- investigation of HUD. Consultants like James Watt should have
- to submit itemized statements justifying the exorbitant fees
- paid them. When people complain about welfare cheaters at the
- bottom, they need to be reminded that there are plenty of
- rascals at the top.

- You state that the woman dubbed Robin Hud stole $5.5
- million from HUD funds and claims she used it for the poor and
- will repay the agency. If she gave it away, where will the money
- come from?
