Delco HUD repayment debate pits Weldon against Innelli
Delaware County residents could face repayment of at least 1.6 million in misused HUD funds from the Partnership for Economic Development. U S Rep Curt Weldon and opponent John Innelli clash over whether repayments amount to double taxation or a reutilization of funds. Weldon argues money returns to the county via the CDBG program. Innelli calls it a tax. Local officials say the repayment figure may shrink after HUD negotiations.
