Joe Biden announces $100M for lead-paint removal

[AlphaCentauri]

Vice President Joe Biden says that nearly $100 million in federal stimulus dollars will go to a program to remove lead-based paint from low-income homes.

Biden announced the plan Friday at a Los Angeles affordable-housing development operated by a community group that is getting $875,000 to remove toxic paint from 225 homes.
