Two mayoral candidates, two opinions on the recent FBI raid on the Housing Authority in South Bend.

The Authority operates nine low-income housing facilities across the city, and does not answer to the city government.

Republican candidate for mayor Sean Haas spoke out Monday about the raid, saying the agency needs reform. He said he plans to order an audit of the Authority and blames Mayor Buttigieg for failing to bring change to it.

His Democratic rival, James Mueller, said the city is still waiting for more information from the investigation, and said that in the meantime, “divisive political rhetoric does nothing to improve conditions for our residents.”

Mueller is Pete’s hand picked successor he speaks for Pete and Haas is right, the mayor has had 7 and 1/2 years to create the problem. Mueller is the status quo, he hidden himself after the police shooting uproar and is only commenting when he feels the coast is clear. There are some serious questions with Mueller’s performance as Community Development Director. Mueller went to high school with Pete and they created sweet deals for their friends with $1 deals of commercial city property. The recipients of those sweet deals got the deeds to the property , fell back on their obligations, and now are in litigation with the city about the deals. This is costing the city in huge attorney fees definitely more than $1 . A huge loss financially on both ends of these deals. They are in litigation with Dave Matthews LLC. and he got riverfront property for $ 0 dollars, that’s right ZERO dollars.
