Last week the Morning Call gave Promise Neighborhoods another Easy Pass. Two paid employees conducted a survey on neighborhood violence. Only five men participated, and they were paid with gift cards to fill out the forms.
It is painful that our tax dollars are being used to provide grants for such things. It is painful that our local paper found it news worthy enough to have fourteen photos about it. The men were photographed from the left, then the right, collectively and then individually. One photo showed just a man's hands with a pencil.
This blog gives no easy passes. The only stories about Promise Neighborhoods that are interesting is that there was another shooting this past weekend, and that Hasshan Batts is stepping down with little explanation. Now, that might be a back story worth a paper's time!

Honestly, I have no idea what this organztion does other than siphon tax money into its pockets for the enrichment of Hasshan Batts, or whoever is the head of the organization now.
