Ford said OEO officials in Washington contacted him several months ago about taking over poverty programs after there were reports of “misappropriations” of funds. “All we were doing was trying to keep the city from losing these funds which we badly need,” Ford said, adding that the U.S. Attorney’s office in Montgomery told him he was on “sound legal ground in conferring with Holland on the status of the local program.” Balogun charged that Ford had been promised $1 million on one occassion and over $600,000 on another if the city took control of several poverty programs.
