Kane and Edgar clash over HUD talks in Upper Darby
Upper Darby Mayor Eugene Kane calls Rep. Robert Edgar’s meeting with HUD assistant secretary Robert Embry redundant and a waste of taxpayers money. Kane, a Republican challenger, says he met HUD officials in Washington last week to press for freeing a $1.8 million Community Block Grant. The dispute centers on whether further negotiations should occur and through HUD’s regional office.
