Lake County Housing Authority officials are joining a lawsuit against the federal government over the loss of funding subsidies for their operations.

Northern argues that the federal government shouldn’t withold taxpayer-funded federal subsidies just because his agency has not spent all the taxpayer-funded state and local money. More HERE
The taxpayers were not asked for comment, nor are they represented in the lawsuit.
