Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. And welcome, Mr. Administrator. Thank you for what you do for a lot of people who have been experiencing real disasters out there.
the administration didn't propose a budget for 2012. They really proposed a lot of pie in the sky, a pipe-dream concept paper for what you would love to see in a reauthorization bill.
For far too long, administrations from both sides of the aisle have neglected to tackle the management and financial problems both at HUD and at many public housing agencies throughout the country.
