Housing group made deals with insiders, relatives
Housing group made deals with insiders, relatives
BY ROBERT ANGLEN and MARK CURNUTTE
The Cincinnati Enquirer
A West End development group has used a taxpayer-funded program to write checks to its board members, hire family members and repair relatives' homes.
General ledgers obtained by The Cincinnati Enquirer show Genesis Redevelopment Inc., wrote these checks in 1998 to board members, their relatives and the executive director totaling about $12,000.
Genesis has refused to release any financial records and its members have refused to respond to repeated interview requests.
The nonprofit Genesis Redevelopment Inc. has been given two homes by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Develop ment that were sold to the son of a board member and the ex-wife of another.
WOO HOO!
"Although the city has given more than $800,000 in federal grants to Genesis since 1991, officials said they were unaware of the insider payments until contacted by the Enquirer and have no way to track who received money and other benefits out of Genesis accounts."
No way to track the money? I am sure that won't happen again!
"Despite Genesis' history of financial problems and a spotty development record — remodeling its own offices, making minor repairs to 11 homes and building only one home while promising 130 units of new housing — the city does not require Genesis to submit copies of checks or lists of project employees."
The promised 130 homes and built one for a friend. Nothing like that could happen today.
Sure.
"While the grant money comes from HUD, officials there say it is up to the city's department of neighborhood services to distrib ute it and make sure it is not misspent."
Much like the money that is currently flowing to the Cincinnati Empowerment Corporation. The last HUD audit found the City of Cincinnati had not conducted proper oversight of the program. Hope that doens't happen with the new Council.
"The former and current executive directors of Genesis confirmed that board members and their families received checks and other benefits, but say they had no control over it.
“Certain things (board members) wanted me to do were kind of shady,” said former Executive Director Ty Gilbert-Shabazz, adding he was told to ignore bid processes and look the other way when it came to hiring relatives."
Hey, at least the Beatty's got paid.
“I have heard rumors, seen reports and I have seen copies of the checks,” said Dale Mallory, who was hired as executive director in December.
Dale Mallory was executive director of Genesis Redevelopment. He did a bang up job, and is still doing it today.
“We don't give property away,” she said. “It just might seem like it.”
She also said that the property comes “with no strings attached,” so Genesis could do anything it wanted with the property — including selling it to board relatives.
They don't give property away until they have the title "no strings attached". Then, they don't like to comment on how they gave the property away.
What board members can't do is hire relatives without going out for a public bid, said Ms. Vacha.
Again, that is in theory and not practice when it comes to Club Genesis or the Cincinnati Empowerment Corporation.
What was more likely to happen at Genesis, Mr. Shabazz said, is that board members would hire family and friends without ever seeking a bid.
"You see the same names come up over and over again. ... Those are the ones who would be preferred contractors,” Mr. Shabazz said. He also said board members made decisions to hire relatives instead of seeking bids from professional contractors.
“So what?” Jackie Shropshire said when asked about checks he received before becoming a board member. “What about it?” "
The same names come up over and over again. So what?
Although Ms. Hemmingway agreed to be interviewed, she said other board members, including board president Mr. Beatty and board member Mr. Kirkland, instructed her not to talk.
Mr. Beatty has also refused to respond to requests from the Enquirer for copies of Genesis financial records.
Don't talk, nobody will know, everything will be fine. These people take money from the public dole, and then they simply can't account for it. It is not like the FBI found Genesis innocent, they simply could not prove a crime. The simple fact remains until this day, nobody knows where the money went.
As a nonprofit agency supported by public funds, Genesis is required by law to make its records open to the public.
Mr. Mallory said Genesis records are a "mess” and only board Treasurer Sidney Cooper has access to all of the accounts and checkbooks.
Then as today, it is nearly impossible to get the crooks to cooperate with an investigation.
"In 1995, an auditor hired by Genesis to review accounts for 1993 and 1994 said “missing receipt and disbursement documents, unauthorized signatures on checks and disbursements made without written documentation of the board” left her unable to certify the audit as complete. "
I am aghast!
“An auditor is not going to find everything,” he said. “The things we looked at would not have detected performance issues.”
"Performance issues" is how well the money is spent and on what projects it is spent. They didn't even have to look at that critically to find problems with Genesis. Imagine what a full audit would do.
The more things change, the more they stay the same...

Dude, that's some old shit.
Dale 4 Sale's been doing the same kind of crap this century, this year, NOW.
Appointing hitman Howdie at the EZ.
No legit income since GE fired him for drugs in the 90's.
His "blight of the week" that he doesn't pay taxes on, is now up for sale so he can buy more drugs.
Dale's Genesis days were only a prelude to the crooked deals he does today.
Those old headlines are just a hint of Dale doing the perp walk on his way to jail.
And the Girly Man Mayor appoints his 74 year old philandering daddy to the Sorta board.
Daddy's on the State elections board.
Daddy's 1/2 million $ EZ take needs to be audited.
Half brother Joe counts the ballots so D4S can steal the 64 votes from Eve.
Half brother Wm. Jr. gets a free promotion due to a back room deal.
Half brother Dwane is a prosecutor (and one of the few honest ones).
Sis works at for da lotto.
Mommie is the bag lady and handles the cash. She also has a lifetime of "looking the other way".
Mt Airy neighbor Scottie J. guards the girly man's body REAL close.
The Mallory Mafia is so interwoven with conflicts of interests that the press didn't know where to start.
Hint: Look at Dale's finances.....Dale's the dumbest, most ethically challenged, and has a lifetime history of drugs and criminal connections. Howdie and Tenbosch were only the beginning.
Mayor Mallory appointed his father to SORTA board? I missed that one. Any one have an Enquirer link or something?
"City of Cincinnati Council Calendar, May 3, 2006.
Pursuant to rule of council 3-200600454 appointment, dated 5/2/2006
submitted by Mayor Mark Mallory, recommending the appointment of william
Mallory Sr. to the Southwest Ohio Regional Transit authority Board of
Directors (SORTA) Mr. Mallory will fill the seat held by Tom Luken."
Junebug's looks like it's closed today too.
Anyone know the story here?
Where do we do our drugs if they shut down JB's?
“So what?” Jackie Shropshire said when asked about checks he received before becoming a board member. “What about it?” "
This story dredged up old memories. I was sitting in Council Chambers the day this Genesis crap hit the floor. Jackie Shropshire & Bill Kirkland sat at the speakers' table like the 2 West End hoodlums they are & were (Jackie's eating dirt pies now). Had the same wiseacre, fresh mouths. Todd Portune was attempting to build a consensus to shut off the money faucet. DeWine backed him & Heimlich was sitting on the fence, but eventually gave into Portune.
This incident was the worst I've ever seen in Council Chambers. Made all that rang-tang that the fakey boycotters were doing look like someone cheated at hopscotch over at Washington Park School.
Shropshire wanted & demanded the money. In his mind, he wasn't doing anything wrong & neither was the rest of the Genesis Gestapo. They brought their entourage with them & accused Council of being racist, among other things.
Oh yeah, N8 was there, as was the late Kabaka, egging the "honest" not-for-profit negroes on.
It was a mess I'll never forget. And history repeats itself to the letter with Cincy EZ. Who would have guessed?
"Where do we do our drugs if they shut down JB's?"
Anon 2:46, take a stroll over to the white-owned Dominion Building, 800 Elm Street, I believe is the address. Go to the Lawson & Associates offices. Tell whoever is working the desk & phones that Howdy sent you. You will be taken care of from there.
I'm sure N8 can help you select from their inventory of fine products & suggest a safe place to imbibe your purchases.
Dear Tim Burke,
Dear 3M,
It is well known that you read this blog very often.
We know you have meetings to plan for D4S's upcoming implosion.
You know the damage he has brought the Mallory brand and Tim's power base.
Surely you know D4S's not worth the trouble.
The Truth Squad is taking a brief summer break......but our many members are gathering strength.
Tim, surely you saw your power slipping away on Wednesday. D4S was a good part of that.
3M....look at all the people that defected from your supporter base because of D4S.
D4S is TOXIC! You both know the baggage he has. So do his enemies!
If you let D4S run in November, it will cause a huge amount of damage to both of you. D4S IS NOT WORTH THAT PRICE!
Is it blackmail? Family loyalty? Extortion? Surely you both know D4S will bring you both untold additional embarrassment.
I have been a lifetime Democrat and longtime Mallory supporter. It pains me to work so hard on the side of the forces against D4S.
The man sold out his community, extorts money, pimped out and beat his druggie wife, is a druggie himself, costs city $$$ with bogus suits, hangs with drug lords and murderers, is bottom feeding EZ loot, hasn't had a real job since being fired from GE, intimidates aging parents, doesn't pay taxes, and so much more.
The Republicans know this too. Guess what.....the heat you saw this spring was just a brief preview of future revalations. Why put yourself through the pain? Put in Bolton of some other credible candidate and you will keep the 32nd seat.
Keep D4S in the race and the party will lose.....no matter what the outcome in November.
"Sometimes you're better off dead
There's gun in your hand and it's pointing at your head
You think you're mad, too unstable
Kicking in chairs and knocking down tables
In a restaurant in a West End town"
(West End Girls, Pet Shop Boys)
D4S, Howdy, Lawson, N8, & the rest of the Mallory entourage, including Timmy Burke - it's over. It's too late to save yourselves. We know the truth. And we're going to tell.
Anyone else have the sense that something LARGE is shaking down?
Dale Mallory's own community kicks him out on his ass and he narrowly wins the primary (100 votes). Kabaka Oba is killed by Howard Beatty. Junebug's Restaurant (owned by brother Beatty) gets 24-hour police patrol and Mark Mallory hires a body guard. Gerald Tenbosch (Invest in Neighborhoods, in which Dale Mallory is on the board) is headed to jail and the city calls for an audit of IIN. Tim Burke barely hangs on to his chair of the Democratic Party. Dale Mallory has a consulting gig for the Empowerment Zone under some distinctive board members and with employees named Orlinda Beatty, Len Garrett (think Genesis), and former employee Killer Howard Beatty (he was released after he killed Kabaka). Just heard yesterday that Dale is no longer a consultant to the EZ because of the conflict of interest (duh!). Recently, Junebug's signs are pulled off the building and replaced with Remax signs. Elite Security (rumored to be Mallory owned) is receiving some heat (and planned to get much hotter) concerning the way they conduct business - evidently they are performing duties reserved for trained police officers, and until recently appear to operate in a bubble of "protection". Ken Lawson (used a great deal recently by Dale Mallory) seems to be drowning in debt (remember his name was also on Junebug’s sign). Nate Livingston has gone undercover. He's MIA.
In summary, Dale Mallory is back to being unemployed and unwelcome. Kabaka is dead. Howard Beatty goes to jail. Junebug’s closed. Taxpayer’s losing by funding Mayors Body Guard. Tim Burke is damaged goods. Gerald Tenbosch loses his job and will probably go to jail. The Empowerment Zone will crumble (and take many people down with it). Elite Security goes back to being rent-a-cops at best. Ken Lawson loses everything. Nate Livingston finally shuts up.
What do these all have in common? Dale Mallory. Tis a shame.
Blanchard, yeah, I've had the same eerie feeling. It's been quiet, too quiet, over at N8's black klan blog. The last thing he squeaked about was the lack of "diversity" in Council Members' offices. He hasn't been name calling or threatening anyone of late.
Happened to see him last week swiveling down the Court House hallway behind Lawson in his daughter's blue jeans & Howdy's Sunday go to meetin shirt. It was last Friday.
The only one who seems to raising stinkum is that nitwit, Nicole Davis. However, that's all she's got to do in her life, seeing she's living on our money.
I don't see how anyone can hold down the fort much longer. This is all going to blow rather soon, I think.
I dropped hints about Junebug's being closed to some people & it took 'em by surprise. Gotta go elsewhere.
Blanchard, it's been too quiet. Way too quiet. Yeah, something large is going to go down. When it goes down, it's going to be huge.
BTW, nice nugget on D4S out as EZ consultant. Sweet! Thx for tipping everyone off.
We haven't heard from N8 because he's been sashaying behind Lawson in the Court House hallways. It seems several of Lawson's civil matters have been up for case management settings. Wulkotte v Lawson, National City Bank v Lawson (he's got Carl Lewis representing him - bad move, Carl. Lawson's shot city like that boxer/drug dealer, Ron Siler, you're managing). There's also a case conference on the suit where Lawson messed over those 2 guys pulled over in a traffic stop who were misidentified.
Lawson's on the ropes in Court & N8's cooking his briefs. That's probably part of the reason we haven't heard anything from these reprobates.
I think the whole klan is laying rather low, knowing full good & well when the stuff hits the fan, they're all going to jail. Si's holding beds for them & releasing the city scum. (Sheriff's Release is in full effect for the boys & the girls.)
This is way too cozy. Tenbosch was turned loose last Friday on a Sheriff's Release. Depending on the Grand Jury & what the prosecutors & investigators bring to the table, this case will go as a Felony 5 or M1. The thief has finally lawyered up. It's not Lawson or any of those other crooks who need their licenses yanked.
BTW, Tenbosch was costing us $85 per day or better sitting in the can, due to medical conditions. The average going rate for our dope & gun boys is $65/day.
Regardless, something is starting to stink again.
I saw Lawson in the courthouse last week and he didn't seem to have his usual swagger. I guess now I know why, all this and 2 of his latest clients got 60yrs each with no potential time off for good behavior. This is really getting thick. I hope someone gets some info on why Junebugs closed so suddenly.
Anon 12:58, Lawson & his buddy Clyde Bennett got their butts kicked on those 2 clowns that got 60 years. In addition to the Judge sticking to his countenance on sentencing, Lawson & Clyde heard again from one of the elderly victims. If that wasn't enough, they got shot to ribbons by community people, whom the Judge allowed verbal impact statements.
Both of them didn't go out of that Court Room doing their usual weenie wagging business.
I'm attempting to drop comments around to learn why JB's closed up so fast. I think that's a big question on everyone's mind. Problem is, it went down in a heartbeat & people really don't know why.
Perhaps that's why all these major players are laying so low with their mouths shut. Maybe there's more to all of this that we actually realize.
In the world of political chicanery, anywhere you deal unfairly, unsquarely you always have to cover your ass. So people become mum, quiet when they feel they under seige. Old man Mallory 3M were into quiet swaggers at Tuesday's Democratic meeting, not wanting to rock the boats; "We're Mallorys you know, just keep on with the business."
My seat from the back saw Fannie's face go from troubled to proud when certain people spoke about the party's lack of leadership and genuiness. She seemed distant to some, like one of her kids were missing, kept looking at faces.
Ladies signing people in said about 212 showed up and the party had about 345 elected this time. They were counting 57 standing up for both the co-chair matter and the inclusion of more people's input on religious participation.
One of the Board of Elections people said it was the first time in 30 years anyone, Mallory, Weil, Burke or Wiethe ever had that strong an opposition from so many different people. If a secret ballot was taken Burke would have been toast. The BOE people and their families would have formed enough opposition under a secret ballot to make the vote closer.
Didn't see Weiland waddle in but did see Kearney fidgeting and then run out as soon as one of 3Ms mayoral spokespeople took the mic for the non-Burke Democrats and noted Blackwell's payouts and pointed to Burke's paid mouth Chundra misspeak trying to make it look like everyone was picking on Timbo. Must irk TB and 3M that they cnaz't buy everyone with Obamma tickets, appointments to Democratic posts. Honesty might be their best ticket.
TB and 3M will wake up surprised that the words of old 'Barrister Bob Manley' in life will come back to haunt them in their trying to hide matters. Almost like a Charles Dicken's novel, yaaassss? ---WJr
Junebugs is back open. They were closed for a few days because Junebug was away on business. I don't know why the big sign is gone.
Anon 3:33, this is news. Other fine, reliable contributors mentioned there was a ReMax realty sign on the place. I need to get off my duff & make a note of the realty phone number & call 'em up.
I put out sniffers today about it & jaws dropped when I vaguely stated that Junebugs was closed up. Gee, I'm learning there's a lot of people in this city who aren't plugged in.
That's a curious bit of info - Junebug away on business. Thanks for the update!
yeah,
JB's open.....but no customers @ 8 on Saturday night.
If JB was out of town on business, it must have been Detroit were he does his other gun running and drug business.
Too bad he's back.....the city would be much better off without him.
In November, I'm voting for Blanchard. Hopefully, the crooked BOE will have write in spots.
It's nice to work with focused, intelligent people like Blanchard & other contributors to this spot. With all of us pitching in, we'll accomplish a great deal.
Today is supposed to be very pleasant - take some time for yourselves & be good to yourself.
What has any Mallory accomplished?
D4S----Nothing
3M-----Managed to get elected, but he's a gay and MT suit More interested in getting and keeping power. Got 14th ammendment passed. Nothing else.
Ceramonial, nothing of substance.
Wm. Sr.----Held office forever by selling out to rural republicans.
Created one "myth" family by merging 4 of his real "secret" families. Still working to create a revisionist history that has no relationship to the truth.
2:52
It's ALL image.
The Mallorys are all about myth and spin control.
Dale denied he was impeached and ousted by his neighbors.
Dale denied he worked for CitiLink
Dale denies GE fired him for drug use.
3M denies he lives in Mt Airy.
Fannie and Bill create the illusion that Joe, Dwane and Wm jr are theirs and not the kids of 3 of Bill's many girlfriends.
Suck one * and you are a *sucker for life. 3M's done more than one.
j
j, you are a trip. Does 3M stand for Mayor Mark Mallory? I must be captain of the small bus today. And also, in one of the comments, someone says they're kind of taking the summer off, I guess to be ready to load up when the campaigns are in full swing. I hope we get some info over the summer though.
Have labored with the WestEnd locals extensively - Locals that have long roots in da' hood and deep roots with mama and papa Mallory (family friends). Without a doubt, Mark Mallory is a homosexual. He runs with a "light skin" African American (didn't get his name). To me, that in itself means very little....it's the facade the family continues to put up that should bother the public. This fact coupled with the Mallory familys quiet move (middle of the night)out of the West End several years ago is deception at its best considering that Mayor Mallory continues to make public blatant lies about his residency.
Dear 11:49
What specific proof do you need?
Birth certificates and actual birthdates proove the cheating claims. Look at zabasearch.com for birthdates. 3M April 1964, Joe also 1964???? Fannie is not Joe's Mom. Wm & Dwane different moms too.
The MT Airy stuff is a matter of public record.
Dale's finances (EZ and Ge and 925 Dayton) are well documented.
3M....well we have talked to the mother's of some of his boy toys.
The pieces fit.
We have seen Dale on drugs and do the abuse thing.
Dale's ties with Tenbosch and Howdie are public record.
Dale's sell out of his neighbors and bogus lawsuits are public record.
Yup......this fine site has documented pretty much every claim that has been made.
What proof do you have that these claims are false?
For those trying to sort out the Mallory Mafia clan, I suggest you stop by Room 240 of the Court House, Monday thru Friday, between 9AM & 11AM. Take a seat when one becomes available. You'll be able to see Judge Bill live, in person & in living color. You'll notice right off he looks nothing like 3M. He looks nothing like Big Daddy & nothing like Fannie.
While you're watching him do his Judge Joe Brown court TV schtick, it will become very clear he's a product of a dalliance. Even his head his bigger than Daddy's & 3M. Rounder, fuller, not that pointy Mallory head.
During the time you're observing his TV show baloney, bear in mind this guy wants to move up to the big leagues - Common Pleas Court. Yeah, his name is going to appear on November's ballot, along with a respected Judge who has a track record of NOT giving out minimum sentences. And you screw up once on your probation, there's not a second chance. Your a$$ goes on the big white bus.
BTW, N8's back with some bulls^&t psycho babble about some Bishop & the Banks project. N8 says he was "able" to attend some sort of a press conference or some yuk like that. Heck, we all know he barged in with that attitude of his. (Whoopsie! He was ordered to go, yeah, that's it.) I hope he didn't wear his kid's jeans & Howdy's white shirt again.
And Lawson got his pee-pee slapped in Court again today. Asking for a bond reduction ($1Mil) on a multi-time felon. He got what he asked for - Judge dropped it to $500,000. No, it wasn't Howdy. That boy'll only see the light of day in an enclosed exercise yard.
Memo to Impeach the Impeach Mallory Freaks 11:49: Go away. You're not wanted here.
Anon 12:55, good job, except Joe and 3M born in 1962, not 1964. You mentioned you talked to the mom of some of the boytoys. How young are these young'uns?
Hey I was wondering what proof other than looks you have about Wm Jr. and Dwayne. Funny thing, even though there's no way Fannie is Joe's mom, she is listed on the probate record of his marriage license as his mom. I wonder how his real mom must feel? Invisible, I guess.
4:28
my bad.
it was 1962 I looked it up months ago. joe and 3m are months apart.
The mom I talked to had a 20 year old kid at Miami that worked on the mayor campaign.
She was telling me that 3m was with her kid till 3 in the AM on many a night.
i'm sure it was all political stuff.
3m hangs with tall skinny white or light 20 yr old girly boys.
to 4:46
bill and fannie raised their 3 kids at Parktown. I asked a long time Mallory acquaintance if the other 3 were raised by Fannie. The answer was "no". That was confirmed by other loooong time west enders. When Bill started to make it big in Columbus, the Mallory myth of fannie's 6 kids started.
D4S thought he was the oldest boy mallory and it drives him nuts to learn that Dwane's older.
There is no question that the spinning mallorys just won't face this basic truth.
Anon 7:40 & 7:50, that is a damn shame. I always wonder who raised who. Isn't Wm. Jr. older than D4S too? That is awful if Wm Jr is an 'outside baby' too. I think it's trifling enough for a married man to have outside kids, but to give the outside kid your name, if I was his wife I couldn't have put up with that mess.
5;05
i think da judge is older than D4S too.
Fannie went nuts when he got the Wm.Junior handle.
Fannie enables her Bill even more than Hillary enables hers.
Both Bills have a free ride. The prez stains blue dresses and Mr. Bill just starts another family.
And the beat goes on.
The buzz is D4S is going to be attacked on so many fronts.
Council is digging.
TV reporters are calling.
The printed press is on this.
Dale left so much incriminating evidence they need a forklift to haul it all.
Woodward and Bernstein have outed deep throat and the Truth Squad has outed 3M.
stay tuned folks......D4s will be doing the perp walk to a local jail real soon.
