The caucus of black New York state lawmakers runs a charity whose stated mission is to empower “African American and Latino youth through education and leadership initiatives” by “providing opportunity to higher education” — but it hasn’t given a single scholarship to needy youth in two years, according to a New York Post investigation.
The group collects money from companies like AT&T, the Real Estate Board of New York, Time Warner Cable and CableVision, telling them in promotional materials that they are “changing lives, one scholarship at a time.”
The group — called the Association of Black and Puerto Rican Legislators, Inc. — instead spent $500,000 in the 2015 – 2016 fiscal year on items like food, limousines and rap music, the Post found.
The politicians refused to divulge the charity’s 2017 tax filing to the Post despite federal requirements that charities do so upon request.

Schmooze money for nothing. Welcome to the Left.
The greed of the black politicians will be their downfall . It's all about them . Another drain the swamp issue in the cities and towns . The American public is so sick of this crap , it's pathetic ,that's why they want our guns , so we can't retaliate .
Not surprised one bit.
This is normal behavior for these groups. Just look at the 3rd world countries they run.
Just used like their personal piggyback.
