Councilwoman's son got lots of help from city

Apr. 27, 2006 12:00 AM

The Southeast Valley Insider offers a behind-the-scenes glimpse at government, politics and other matters in Chandler, Ahwatukee Foothills, Tempe, Gilbert, Mesa, Apache Junction, Queen Creek and Pinal County.

Councilwoman Barbara Carter's son has gotten plenty of help from Tempe, and we aren't just talking about that note the police chief wrote to help out Colby Carter when he was arrested for growing pot.

In 2002, the younger Carter got a $17,500 zero-interest loan from the city as part of an assistance program for Tempe home buyers, county documents show. The Community Assisted Mortgage Program loan helped Carter buy a $132,000 house on West 17th Street, where, incidentally, police say he was growing the marijuana that led to his 2005 Tempe arrest. County documents show that Carter has since paid off the loan.

The program is open to Tempe residents who meet income and other requirements. At the time that Carter bought his house, the income limit for a household with one person would have been $32,400, city officials say. The city awards about 20 such loans each year.

After getting so much help over the years, perhaps Carter will send Tempe a thank-you note.
