Refrigerators so old they were that old green color and the freezer didnt work. Porches so unsafe to walk on, you felt like you would fall through just getting to the door. Roofs leaking, gutters down! These slum landlords are protected by the city and you wouldnt believe how many of those homes are owned by city employees, retiring police officers and firemen.<BR/><BR/>The absentee landlords will collect the outrageous rents, and you better have yours on the first or you will be in the street quick.<BR/><BR/>I wonder how many of those slum land lords will be applying for weatherization funds? They shouldnt get a dime, all that money should go to homeowners who own their homes, the elderly and single women raising their children alone.

My guess it was 'Tubby Rosie'. It's time for her to go...she's just sitting around waiting for Sheridan to retire and Budman to become mayor so she can be named City Solicitor.
