Corruption at HUD

AMERICAblog: A blog for a great nation that deserves the truth: "Internal review shows HUD secretary illegally blocked govt. contracts to Democrats, then lied about it an attempt to cover it up

Time for the Republican culture of corruption to stop. This man needs to resign. (And of course, get a medal.)

ThinkProgress has the leaked Inspector General report from HUD, it's bad:

In April, Housing Secretary Alphonso Jackson told a group of real estate officials that he once canceled a government contract because the contractor was critical of President Bush. Awarding contracts based on political leanings “violates federal law.” Jackson is a “longtime Bush friend” and former neighbor in Dallas, Texas.

The Inspector General for the Department of Housing and Urban Development has conducted a detailed investigation and produced a 340-page report detailing his findings. The agency has given a copy to Jackson, but refused to release the report to the public."
