The far-left community group NACA just squeezed taxpayer dollars
out of the state of North Carolina.
NACA (Neighborhood Assistance Corporation of America) is a very
aggressive ACORN wannabe and it played a role in the
subprime
mortgage collapse by using the Community Reinvestment Act to
hound banks into lending money to people they should have known
wouldn’t be able to pay it back.
The state’s Democratic governor,
Bev Perdue, is even bragging about surrendering the $1
million grant from the One North Carolina Fund on her
website.
The grant is going to help NACA expand its
operations.
In her press release, the governor also promotes NACA’s jobs fair
happening tomorrow and Saturday in Charlotte. Perdue does her
constituents a disservice, though, by not reminding them that a
criminal record —or at least the ability to intimidate
people— might be a prerequisite to land a job with NACA.
It’s unclear what kind of dirt blackmailer Bruce Marks, the head
of NACA
who glibly calls himself an “urban terrorist,” had on Gov.
Perdue. Perhaps a Freedom of Information Act request would be in
order. (Here’s a
North Carolina Business Journal article on the grant.)
