Oh, the wacky world of municipal agency billing! The New York City Housing Authority, the city agency which manages the city's public housing, pays the city $200 million in fees for services including water, trash, and police protection.

To others, it's crazy that the city is forcing an agency with financial problems to pay up, especially when services are being cut back.

wow go after public housing when people can hardly feed themselves or find decent private housing. Its funny that so many diplomats in the city owe millions in unpaid parking tickets but why go after them its not like they have money
sounds like the first volley shot to privatization and selling off said properties to bloomberg's buddies. I hope the city and state has a big enough army.
