The BHA is feeling the heat! I got this letter full of very ripe bullshit today.

Sometimes things are so, well, bizarre, that it's hard to comment. For example, savings strategies for very low income residents? I'm sure the tenants who rely on the in-building food bank to get through a month should have no problem at all saving about $1000 for pieces of machinery and (it turns out, illegal) fees. Then next month, maybe we'll save more money and buy a Ferrari.

I am sure they are telling the truth about not intending to cause a health crisis. Because in order to intend to do someone harm, you have to first think about their well-being, and the BHA definitely never does that when it comes to tenants.

I am quite sure the BHA wants to handle this on a case by case basis. That way they don't have to adress their murderous policy change.

I have been encouraging, and continue to encourage, tenants and nontenants alike to contact the Burlington Housing Authority. Just not the way they want to be contacted.
