Obama may help cities
Monday, November 10th, 2008After eight years during which the federal government didn’t even have an urban policy, an aide President-elect Obama is indicating that he plans to coordinate help for cities.
The Washington Post reports that Obama plans to establish a White House Office of Urban Policy.
“He’s going to have a White House chief of urban policy,” [transition co-chair Valerie] Jarrett told the Trotter Group, an organization of black columnists.
