Sources: PHA staff forced to join Greene party

At the party, held at the Greater Grays Ferry Estates, staffers presented Greene with an oil-painted portrait of himself, with a pensive, almost presidential expression. The roughly 3-feet-by-2-feet painting was framed in a dark, rich wood.

That night, staffers also presented college-scholarship money to a few teens who lived in PHA housing. The money came out of the $2.12 weekly fund, according to the former senior staffer.

Last fall, busloads of PHA staffers flooded the Brunswick Zone XL on Street Road in Feasterville.

Jon Antonelli, Brunswick Zone general manager, said PHA staffers filled all 48 bowling lanes and lounged in the Brunswick Bar & Grill, where they enjoyed "a nice buffet spread" that included salmon and sliced roast beef.

Antonelli said PHA staffers competed in teams against each other. They played billiards and video games, and bowled to win prizes, he said.

They also played laser tag, which Brunswick Zone bills as "a heart-racing game of skill and strategy," where players have to "watch out around the next corner or you may get tagged. ZAP!"

"We should not have been getting paid while on a field trip," the former PHA staffer said. "We were still drawing our salaries for that.

"We bowled and played laser tag and games the entire day."
