The previous parts to Ken’s talk at the Alton Business Association’s Workforce Housing Forum were kept to around 10 minutes each so I should let you know that this goes about 25 minutes. The topic was Westchester County, NY – a “lower level of government” that actually believed the Federal Govt’s “Sustainability Community Initiative” was not legally binding – but turned out that the “crack” money dangled out by EPA / DOT / HUD had not just strings attached but steel cables. Part of the length of this part is a video where the Administrator of Westchester County explained how the old “inch/mile” / “rug out from underneath” became a scary (and EXTREMELY expensive) proposition when the ideologues of “seeing racism everywhere” / “make wealth redistribution everywhere” within the Federal Government decided that what was a legally signed agreement could, willy-nilly, be arbitrarily broached and extended by those whose hubris of Federal Government power knows no bounds (how’s that fer ya, Kitch??).
