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.
