Do the crime, no more welfare time.

House GOP on Offense [Kate O'Beirne]

This afternoon, Republicans got a good vote on a motion to recommit offered by Rep. Bobby Jindal to a Katrina housing recovery bill. The Jindal motion would bar anyone convicted of drug dealing, a sex crime, or domestic violence from occupying public housing. Other housing assistance would be available to such felons, but the intent was to prevent public housing from returning to its pre-Katrina disgraceful state. A London School of Economics study found that the level of violence at one public housing complex was more than seven times as high as the overall rate in New Orleans. The motion to recommit passed, although 175 Democrats voted ( apparently at the vehement insistence of Rep, Maxine Waters) to house drug dealers and predators among the needy of New Orleans.
