How much of this money has been shuffled off to ACORN offices in Milwaukee?
Milwaukee city attorney Grant Langley appears to have advised against city and class action suits against the paint companies, yet the city chose to force the issue - under pressure from ACORN?
Remember, Milwaukee is home to aldermen running crime and extortion rings (Michael McGee), Congresswoman Gwen Moore's (D) family running around slashing GOTV van tires in 2004, and many thousands of false voter registrations courtesy of the same ACORN.
A hotbed of corruption.
Like a shakedown of companies.
Phony outrage. It was legal when they made it. They quit making it 30 years ago.
Still, somehow they manage to whip themselves into a fever on demand in hopes of blackmailing somebody into giving them some money for free. Some company, some agency, will put up a pot of money. Somebody like Acorn will get the contract to administer the program. They’ll hire a bunch of folks to study the problem. They’ll paint a few houses. Some of the lawyers will pocket a fat commission. No one will be able to trace where the rest of the money went.

"...lead poisoning to “result in significant and serious impairment of academic success, specifically a seven fold increase in failure to graduate from high school, lower class standing, greater absenteeism, impairment of reading skills sufficiently extensive to be labeled reading disability and deficits in vocabulary.."

Pelosi even slipped when she called protestors "astro turf". There was lead found in "astro turf"!
Just sayin'......
Thanks for posting. I can’t tell you how brave I think you are for still living there. We left in 1970 and never looked back.
Look for ACORN in ‘The People’s Republik of Madistan’ to follow suit.
Guess I kind of jumped out of the frying pan and into the fire, LOL!
If you’re so worried kids will be eating lead paint chips, the inner city folks need to set aside a little cigarette, alcohol and lottery money to buy their kids at least ONE damn meal a day. Lord knows the public schools are giving them breakfast AND lunch for free. Probably an after school snack too.
This whole blame others for stuff done by other companies or for paint done 50-60 years ago is insane. If that paint is still in those buildings, wouldn’t the landlords at least be more responsible than the paint companies? If we have to point fingers at someone? Not saying I would. But do we all have to look at the world like trial lawyers and always automatically go for the entity with supposedly the biggest pockets?
Hey, here’s an idea feed and supervise your kids and they won’t eat paint.
