Where’s the money Gregory?
TLT has been hot on this story reported on by the New York Post concerning Queens Den pol Gregory Meeks who along with fellow Dem, Malcolm Smith started a non-profit group to raise money for Hurricane Katrina survivors, and guess what?
$30,000 was raised, and the money never made it’s way to New Orleans.
Where did it go?
The dirty little secret is that Democrats love to use the “non profit” hustle to raise money for so-called good cause, and the money disappears and never gets to where it’s needed. Gregory Meeks is just one example to what Democrats are doing all across the country and the main stream media purposely ignores the scandal.
Can you figure out why?
From The New York Post:
A federal grand jury has slapped New York Dem Rep. Gregory Meeks with a subpoena as part of what is shaping up to be a sweeping corruption probe of the Queens Democrat and other city lawmakers.
Meeks announced he had been subpoenaed Tuesday on the House floor, complying with rules that require members to publicly disclose when they are subpoenaed.
The Manhattan grand jury reportedly is seeking a slew of documents dating back to 2000.
Meeks received the subpoena about two weeks ago and disclosed it as soon as lawmakers returned this week from Congress’ spring break, said Meeks spokeswoman Lupe Todd. She would not provide more details of the grand jury probe.
“I’m being vague because it is an active subpoena and [Meeks’] attorneys have to look into it and respond to it,” Todd said. “But he is complying with the subpoena.”
Meeks has attracted scrutiny since a federal probe was launched over questions, first raised by The Post, about what became of money raised by a charity Meeks set up to help Hurricane Katrina victims.
The Post first reported that New Yorkers Organized to Assist Hurricane Families paid out only $1,392 of the roughly $31,000 it collected for victims of the New Orleans disaster.
The US Attorney's Office has launched a probe to find the missing money.
The hurricane-relief effort was launched by a nonprofit group, New Directions Local Development Corp., founded by Meeks and state Sen. Malcolm Smith, also of Queens.
Both Meeks and Smith have said the New Directions was run by a board that made decisions about how its funds were used.
