UN Project Promised 100,000 Homes in Kenya. It Delivered None

  • Title is a bit sensationalised or misleading. Because there’s no actual role with that name. But yeah this is fucked.

    A corporate lobbyist who for decades has helped major companies and rich Americans dodge taxes is now serving as the U.S. Treasury Department’s top tax policy official, a position in which he will write rules implementing the newly passed Republican budget law.

    That role is “enormously powerful,” The New York Times’ Jesse Drucker wrote in a Monday profile of Ken Kies, whom the GOP-controlled U.S. Senate confirmed as assistant treasury secretary for tax policy in a party-line vote last month. President Donald Trumpselected Kies for the position in January.
