Congresswoman Jackson Lee tells crime fearing residents they may get help from "stimulus" bill
Residents of the lovely Heights neighborhood are on edge because of recent home invasions. At a meeting, Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee instead of addressing the problem tries to plug the pending stimulus (or socialist) bill in Congress. The Houston Chronicle quotes her as saying:
Jackson Lee, a Houston Democrat, said the stimulus bill currently in Congress may include funds for public safety, which could trickle all the way down to more patrol officers for Houston streets, but that local and state officials will have to fight for their share.So, to the residents of the Heights, despite four home invasion burglaries since the start of the year, the hyped "stimulus" bill MAY include funds for public safety (then again it may not). The funds COULD trickle down to Houston (then again, they may not).
Congresswoman Jackson Lee is apparently still out of touch.
