Timeline / back story Jay Ash - mayor of Chelsea huge scandal at Chelsea Housing - director was taking salary of $400K vs $100K - he went to jail Jay Ash - became head of DHCD which controls all Housing Authoritys in Mass Cambridge Mayor - maybe the best paid in the USA - maybe $400K per year Cambridge Housing Authority - recently received $150M from the State to completely renovate EVERY apartment that they control Cambridge - 150% Democratic - home of MIT and Harvard University Chelsea - 150% poor Dominicans Governor - Republican Question - is Jay Ash Democrat or Republican? - does it matter? - what really happened here? - what does this tell us about politics and local government in Massachusetts? I wonder if Jay Ash tried to buy that job as mayor by making sure that Cambridge got $150M in housing funds? (But I think that money was actually received by Cambridge Housing just before Jay Ash took over DHCD - maybe not) You might wonder why every single CHA apt had to be renovated in a city with the best paid mayor in the universe.
