Interesting story in the morning's Standard-Examiner, reporting on an item on last night's council agenda, whereby "members of a newly formed nonprofit organization" pitched the City Council for a chunk of Ogden City's "annual federal Community Development Block Grant funds":
• Nonprofit seeks some of Ogden's CDBG funding to help stabilize struggling familiesWe received this story tip via email from one gentle WCF reader who also offered this:
You really gotta wonder to what extent Godfrey is siphoning this grant money into projects that have nothing to do with the intended purpose. Someone oughta audit the whole program.So what say our gentle readers about this novel reader suggestion? Is it time for the Council to more closely examine the Godfrey Administration's books and records, at least with respect to CDBG funds? It's not as if we believe Boss Godfrey would ever engage in any hanky-panky, mind you... but $1.1 million is nevertheless a sizable chunk of dough.
