HUD OMB feud stalls elderly housing project in Fourth Ward
The HUD and OMB block action on 30 elderly housing units in the Fourth Ward Urban Renewal Project, risking a $60,000 local shortfall. Renewal officials press lawmakers, but neither bureau budges. The stalemate draws criticisms and is likened to a Gilbert and Sullivan farce as project directors seek relief. Separately, stock investors face sparse hard facts, prompting the NYSE to publish a white paper urging better corporate investor communication and disclosure in annual reports.
