Air America Steals from Poor Kids and Alzheimer Sufferers

Air America received somewhere between $800,000 and $900,000 from an inner city charity funded primarily by government grants. The charity known as the Gloria Wise Boys and Girls Club provides assistance to inner city kids and Alzheimer patients. This was supposed to be a "loan" but the money has been lost, the club is defunct and the usual good government types don't seem to care. Perhaps Elliott Spitzer could take time out from shaking down the financial services indutry to go after the crooks who took money from the poor and the disabled to give to fat cat leftists on the radio.

More from Captain's Quarters:

A private media start-up with huge political pretensions and meager financial underpinnings uses taxpayer dollars from a Boys & Girls Club to help pay the salaries of high-profile hosts like comedian Al Franken. As a result of these dubious loans and other self-dealing, the Gloria Wise club will be sending no more poor kids from the Bronx to summer camp. It will be providing a lot fewer services, if any, to the Alzheimer's patients it helped. ...

For the Boys & Girls Club, meanwhile, the results have been disastrous. The New York Department of Investigation announced in June that city grants and contracts to Gloria Wise - about $10 million worth - were to be suspended because its officials had approved "significant inappropriate transactions and falsified documents that were submitted to various city agencies."
