Brickbat: Well-Housed

Former Atlanta Housing Authority senior vice president Tracy Jones pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit theft of government funds, wire fraud, and credit application fraud, for misusing her position to fraudulently collect more than $300,000 in federal funds. Prosecutors say Jones falsified documents to approve her son's girlfriend for Section 8 housing vouchers, which were then used to pay rent on a home that Jones herself owned. She also submitted false paperwork to get a Federal Housing Administration mortgage on the same property, and she used a fake name and business to net $36,000 in pandemic relief funds. She faces more than 20 years in federal prison when she is sentenced in May.

The system is set up for this. Her sin is getting caught.

She neglected a payment to someone.

Typical Atlanta government official, though. Something in the water in Fulton County maybe,
