- Queensbridge Houses Tenants Say "HUD Has Covered Up Long Enough"
-
- HUD Employees allege that Jack Kemp is mismanaging HUD Budget
-
- On Wednesday August 12, 1992 the Queensbridge Tenant Association held
- a protest rally at the NYC office of the scandal plagued US
- Department of Housing and Urban Development. The hilite was the
- enthusiasm showed by bystanders when the Queensbridge Houses tenants
- chanted "HUD has covered up long enough". This enthusiasm was shared
- by tenants leaders of other Public Housing Projects throughout the
- city as well as HUD employees, who watched from the sidelines.
-
- Queensbridge tenants have been charging that NYC HUD Head, Doctor
- Villane and HUD Engineers have been covering-up for organized crime
- contractors and as well as for a HUD sanctioned NYC HA protection
- racket. The protection racket is the NYC HA Tenant Patrol
- Organization which has done absolutely nothing to eradicate drug
- dealing from the projects but which gets HUD money and HUD sanction.
- Tenant Patrol only benefits NYC HA big-wigs who get big salaries out
- of this scam.
-
- Two days after the Queensbridge Houses protest, HUD employees charged
- that Jack Kemp, Secretary of HUD had been mismanaging the HUD budget.
- The Law Offices of Passman & Kaplan (202-659-2537) held a press
- conference to expose HUD mismanagement. Queensbridge Houses tenants
- say that HUD looks the other way at allegations of shoddy workmanship
- of organized crime connected contractors.
-
- While some would portray Jack Kemp as an early contender for the 1996
- GOP presidential nomination along with former anti-drug director Bill
- Bennett, Queensbridge tenants say that these two guys must be taking
- part in a gross charade. Jack Kemp can't properly supervise one
- Federal agency and Bennett might as well be a "drug king pin" for all
- the good that he has done. In a combo public housing and drug
- incident, Queensbridge children were recently chased away from a
- Police Athletic League playground by gun totting drug dealers. Police
- have not shown up yet!
-
- Queensbridge Houses is the largest public housing project in the USA
- and is a concentrated USA is its cross section of races, religions,
- economic and ethnic groups. Queensbridge Houses has many problems.
- Tenant leaders have been tipped off that Queensbridge Houses manager
- Scott Krikawa will not be returning to Queensbridge Houses from his
- vacation but instead may be heading for the unemployment office.
-
- The Queensbridge/Fruit of Islam controversy which has already been
- covered in the NY Daily News, NY Times, Newsday and various broadcast
- media, is heading for the courts in September. The ADL has apparently
- unduly influenced Jack Kemp to disallow the Fruit of Islam from
- providing security at Queensbridge Houses. The ADL has meddled in NYC
- HA affairs by opposing Fruit of Islam desired participation at
- Queensbridge Houses. In an on-the-air interview on WBAI on Tuesday
- August 18, 1992, Jewish tenant leader Violet Hamilton denounced the
- ADL. Hamilton stated that the FOI would be good for Queensbridge
- Houses. Hamilton stated that the "Tenant Patrol is doing nothing."
- The name Violet Hamilton may ring a bell. Early this year, she was in
- the news as the victim of attempted blackmail by NYC Chair Laura
- Blackburne.
-
- Pending September litigation, the Queensbridge Tenant Council has
- been tracking down through the computer networks as a contingency
- plan the National Black Rifleman's Association and A-AMAN (the
- African-American Men Against Narcotics.) These groups have prior
- experience in patrolling housing projects while being armed with
- rifles.
