Federal bureaucrats to adopt my hometown, Fresno

The Obama administration today unveiled a federal program aimed at helping cities like Detroit revitalize parts of their urban core.

The Strong Cities, Strong Communities program will target Detroit, Fresno, Memphis, Cleveland, New Orleans, and Chester, Pa.

And in keeping with federal government style, officials have given the program an acronym, SC2.

U.S. Housing and Urban Development Secretary Shaun Donovan unveiled the program with Detroit Mayor Dave Bing this morning.
My mind is blank on what exactly the federal bureaucrats would teach Fresno.
Oh wait, they tell us:
Officials say the program seeks to cut through federal red tape by providing communities with technical assistance to ensure federal and local dollars are spent wisely.
I don't get it, the federales are going to teach us how to go around federale red tape. A bribery lesson from the inside.
