How far can $1 million go to fix long-over-due building maintenance projects?

Just ask Delores Calloway, resident of Camptown Gardens and president of the tenant's association.

The public housing complex in Irvington, New Jersey, is in desperate need of repairs. There are holes in the ceilings due to water damage, electrical wires hanging out and rusty pipes showing through. Sometimes rats fall through the ceiling in the community room.

Walking down into the basement where Calloway's office is located, there is a strong smell of must, with water on the floor under the latest leaking pipe, piles of debris where the ceilings have caved in and a dead mouse laying at the bottom of the stairwell. She said this used to be a space for kids, but the neglected maintenance has made it unusable.

There is so much needless waste in government it is ridiculous, and liberal/progressive want even more big government.

More big government=more free stuff, and fewer tax payers paying more tax so non taxpayers can get more free stuff.
