This figure was part of the FBI-recorded conversations Basim had with Brian Herron; the transcripts are hundreds of pages, and the primary source was ostensibly the E Z funding - I believe Mr Metoyer had meetings with city staff about the issue roughly one year ago. The $800,000 was never approved or disbursed as the project never came to fruition, but the wheels toward acquiring it were in motion when the FBI swooped in and spoiled the party. EY: This type of abuse makes me pause about wanting to write to my congresscritter and sen asking them to fight for empowerment zone funding in the city. Also David Piehl writes: Why? Council Member Niland made the motion, and said >"In deference to the wishes of Council Member Herron, I move that the building >be sold to Basim Sabri". That is in the minutes, and was widely reported by >KSTP last summer. One can only speculate about the motives. ============================================= EY: This suggests something quite sinister. I guess I'd rather hear something more directly, rather than speculating about motives. When it comes to Sabri -- just the facts ma'am is quite bad enough.
