Clay: D.C. meeting positive despite feds still saying no
City will use its block grant funds for demolition of dilapidated houses, commercial properties

GARY -- Mayor Rudy Clay went to Washington last week searching for answers from the U.S. Housing and Urban Development agency. 

Clay considered the meeting a positive one, although the end result stayed the same -- no new HUD stimulus cash for the city. 

The city hoped to receive a share of $1.93 billion in HUD's Neighborhood Stabilization Program. Gary had applied for $25 million in HUD stimulus money grant for the demolition of 900 abandoned homes and about 200 empty commercial buildings. 

Clay and U.S. Sen. Evan Bayh met with HUD Secretary Shaun Donovan Friday to ask why Gary failed to win a $25 million grant to demolish houses and buildings on the city's east side. 

On Monday, Clay said Gary will be eligible to reassign as much as $7 million in Community Development Block Grant money for demolition, and Community Development Director Jacquelyn Drago - Hunter will work with HUD to meet all necessary deadlines. 

Gary has until Sept. 13, Clay said, to reassign the first $2 million for demolition. 

Though it isn't the $25 million the city originally sought, Clay still called his meeting in 

Washington productive."It's all about tearing houses down," Clay said. "It also will create jobs."

09242007 - Court Hearing Transcripts - Divorce Case - CAUSE NO: 64D01-0708-DR-7804/Porter County Superior Court, Valparaiso IN - Attorney's misled me to believe I would receive settlement in October 2007






































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































Default hearing for immediate distribution of properrty settlement.

At this hearing, I requested that the court order my ex to pay me my property settlement in full before he was allowed to take possession of the house. Magistrate Johnson ignored this request. This would have put a halt to the October 7th unlawful police entry into my home.

"...If, you know, the court require that before he takes possession of the house, he buys out my interest..."







EXHIBIT NUMBER 1
[ EMAIL FROM ATTORNEY JEFFREY SHAW TO ATTORNEY JOHN RHAME]














"Mr. Thomas is a very violent man. He's a very controlling man..."





"...If, you know, the court require that before he takes possession of the house, he buys out my interest..."

This is a default hearing, thus the court should have honored this request in an order that my ex could not take possession of the marital home until after he paid me my property settlement. This puts more question on the unlawful police entry into my home on October 7th.
"Your Honor...It's not going to be safe for me around here..."

Magistrate Johnson's comment about wanting ex-parte' communication with my ex's attorney : "I'm disappointed that Mr. Shaw chose not to attend. I would be interested in his response..."
