		<description><![CDATA[I have as little faith in Margaret Shaw as I did Paul Hilgers when it came to protecting the taxpayer&#039;s interest with the SMART Housing Program.

Frontera at Montana, an AHFC subdivision devoted to low income housing, that&#039;s turned into a hornets nest because of lack of interest or sincere responsibility by Shaw, has allowed Keystone Constructors, the infrastructure contractor to seriously screw the taxpayers.

I brought this issue before the AHFC Board of Directors earlier this year, and still, the handicap ramps hold water for several days due to rainfall and the concrete embankments has all cracked completely through.

The Smart Housing Program implemented by the Austin City Council expedites building inspections to the point, where no inspection is conducted, that would red flag faulty work in homes being constructed.

It saddens me that the infrastructure that was funded by HUD money is installed in a very unsatisfactory manner, and Shaw, as usual, shows no interest in making it right, yet is eager to place parolees in new homes meant for the disabled and elderly.]]></description>
