In addition to this waste of taxpayers money, the head of this thing got caught blatantly embezzling.

quote:

For example, July 2014, records show Rice traveled to Miami for the International Multicultural Conference. There, she used the nonprofit’s credit card four times at the pool bar, spending $137.81. Rice also charged an additional $90 at the hotel's main bar, and rented two pool lounge chairs.

In Orlando, she also charged $511 to “IOA ADMI” - a quick search on the internet reveals that may be associated with Universal Studios.

At this point, people should be more shocked if a NOLA agency is NOT stealing money from the tax payers.

Conservatively I'd say at least 50% of these types of organizations dabble in this unethical stuff

I'd assert it's 80% of the reason 95% of them even exist.

This is wrong? You're not supposed to do this?

Lee probably has a list of every non profit thats receiving tax paying dollars and just goes down the list...if you're on that list he's eventually going to get to you.

Time to close the budget gap by eliminating taxpayer funding for these types of organizations.

A very expensive one. Hell, most high end hotels charge you for WiFi too.

Mitch doesn't get elected without doling out shite like this to "non-profits" left and right around town. It's an awful sickening cycle.

Brah, those cabanas arent free, and if you've ever been to the beach you also have to rent the beach chairs and umbrellas.

fricking millennials, they always want something for free

But who are y'all hearing will be next in line for the mayors office?

The last half decade has seen a slight shift in demographics in the city. I'm wondering if it will play any part. Not saying we ever get someone conservative in office just saying
