What Bill thinks he said: De Blasio shrugs off a commitment to build thousands of units of senior housing; Did the new York city mayor lie to the wrong group?

Rev David Brawley

NYC Mayor Bill De Blasio

Mayor de Blasio committed $500 million to Metro-IAF’s plan for building new apartments for seniors, starting with six already identified NYCHA and Housing Preservation and Development sites where money could be spent and units put up quickly. 
-----------------------------------
Speaking of clear statements, “there was no ambiguity from the mayor when we shook hands about this being $500 million from the city,”  Brawley told me Friday.

“If in fact we have been deceived and lied to, this would be a great disrespect to the black and Latino community — certainly the greatest lie that I have ever seen, and maybe in the history of our organization.”   NY Daily News Story by Harry Siegel
