reasons. Auditors are saying Boley's missing $1 million - so where's
the money? It's not in the African community!

****************************************************************
Boley's in trouble by auditors for losing a million dollars. Their
response was to illegally fire two longstanding employees, Housing
Manager Angelia Waller and Housing Specialist Valerie Sanders,
giving them no reason and refusing to pay them for work done. Boley
manufactured false charges against Sanders and had her arrested for
"fraud", of which she is innocent.
At the same time, several long-time residents of Boley's low-income
housing were given notices that they would lose their HUD subsidy,
effectively giving them eviction notices - even though they had all
passed Boley's rigorous screening process. They were not given a
reason, a trial or allowed the opportunity to come into compliance, if
they were indeed found to be out of compliance.
The only thing all of these people had in common is their support of the
Uhuru Movement. No one else was targeted.
This is a violation of free speech, association and federal housing laws
and workers rights!
