Related: About this forumCity of Dubuque Claims National Review Article is Inaccurate
Because it is. Because it's a racist piece of horseshit.
DUBUQUE, Iowa (KCRG-TV9) - The City of Dubuque says an article claiming Dubuque is turning into a satellite city of Chicago does not represent what is really going on in Dubuque.
The article appeared in the National Review and is titled "How Obama Stole Dubuque" and is getting a lot of attention online.
It claims the federal government under the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) took control in Dubuque.
HUD provides vouchers to help people in need with their rent.
The National Review article says a HUD agreement signed in 2014 was set up to provide a solution to Chicago's lack of housing for low-income, African-Americans. The article, written by Stanly Kurtz, warns other cities to be aware of this so it doesn't happen to them.

Thanks for posting that. As I said I sent the link to the story you had on our old friends at the National Review over to some local journalistic concerns.
Glad to see there's more than one of us from the Key City on these here boards.

Lets see if they have the intestinal fortitude to publish it.
