My Councilman can’t see the conflict

Overpaid Government Worker reports:

When Cleveland City Councilman Michael Polensek couldn’t find a favorable loan to buy a foreclosed house on his street this summer, he called in a favor that the average resident in his ward would have been hard-pressed to receive.

Polensek asked the community development agency he funds with federal tax dollars to buy the house for him while he looked for a loan that he liked. Collinwood & Nottingham Villages Development Corp. did just that, and Polensek bought the home on the far northeast side six weeks later.
