Rokakis-Frangos latched on to CDBG funds for demos in 90s

Tremont was their test ground for the use of HUD city demolition funds.  Both Cleveland Council men knew the Tremont area from growing up there.  Now, the dots all seem to fall together.  How much money have these two political crooks amassed?  Will they be taking it to their graves like their close council friend Ray Pianka??

Let's look at a typical City of Cleveland Community Development Budget proposed for last year - and note that Neighborhood Development Allocations are the funds that council members spend at their discretion.  It has also been typical of council members to move these monies around to other wards.
