Congressional Black Caucus Foundation Received Over $500K in Taxpayer-Funded Gov’t Grants Seven foundation leaders paid themselves six-figure salaries

Seven foundation leaders paid themselves six-figure salaries

The Congressional Black Caucus Foundation was awarded more than $500,000 in taxpayer-funded government grants since 2010, records show. Seven of its leaders additionally paid themselves six-figure salaries, according to the group's most recent tax filings.

The CBC Foundation, a nonprofit that is separate from the Congressional Black Caucus, carries a mission of advancing "the global black community by developing leaders, informing policy, and educating the public."

Despite its separation from the Congressional Black Caucus, a number of members sit on its board of directors. These representatives include Sheila Jackson Lee (D., Texas), who chairs the group, Keith Ellison (D., Minn.), Hank Johnson (D., Ga.), Emanuel Cleaver (D., Mo.), Alcee Hastings (D., Fla.), Gwen Moore (D., Wis.), Terri Sewell (D., Ala.), and Brenda Lawrence (D., Mich.).

Oh Say It Ain't So. Black Caucus Democ-rats using Taxpayers Funds to fill their own pockets. Been doing it for years. Mr.President, it's time to Drain the Swamp.

Back room dealing and kickbacks. Fraud.

They don't care, and, more importantly, don't worry about what you see or what you think about what you see.
The only thing they should be caring about is how to get that rope from well, you know.....cutting off their oxygen and all....
Keep cheering.

I can believe this happens all the time.My only question is how can 7 people have 6 figure salaries if there is only $500,000?
