This is just amazing to me that several of these people worked government jobs and were able to collect (steal) this money for years. I guess you can go to Social Services, say you need assistance and no questions asked. Looks like most of these thieves made more than i did. I think I'll forward this to Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson.
i see a pattern here do you?
It's an obvious pattern.
I doubt any of this will ever be repaid.
And the socialists who advocate Section 8 housing always explain away any criticism of the program as "racism".
Yes, forward this to Jesse and Al, but don't hold your breath.
I work with one of these girls. Yes, there's definitely a pattern. I don't think any of these girls are caucasion. This just makes me sick and re-enforces my ever-worsening feelings toward this group of people. Always wanting something for nothing from hard working people.
what group of people are you talking about
The group of people described in this article.
What group do you think? Read the article and I think you can probably figure it out.
Maybe this is their idea of reparations. Typical! And you wonder why racism still exists.
Where's the moral turpitude? They handle our checks and personal information, service our health, and influence children. They should have loss their jobs, serve time and reacquaint themselves to the job market. It's call restitution!!! That is if the UNITED STATES POST OFFICE of CHARLOTTE has a real POST MASTER!! And if Health and Child Care really care and BELL SOUTH isn't so needy that the new AT&T empire can't afford to lose a little trash. "Go back three spaces. It's the game of life.
Amazing! I worked with this individual (Sahia Seaman) back in 2003-2005. She lived in New York City and worked for another Federal Government branch of service (TSA). Not surprisingly, she was terminated from employment by them. Maybe the HUD should investigate her doings in New York as well and when they prosecute her, throw away the key.
Amazing! Sahia Seaman worked for the TSA back in New York and was terminated from employment there. The government should investigate her housing activity in New York as well as Carolina, then at prosecution and sentencing, throw the book at her and throw away the key.
Another Former New York City HoodRat that went down south to feed off the government. She obviously thought that her "so called street smarts" would dupe the government of North Carolina. DUH!
