\nIn August, we told you<\/a> about allegations of corruption against Tyrone Freeman, then head the largest Service Employees International Union (SEIU) affiliate in California. Over the weekend, the Los Angeles Times<\/i> published new allegations<\/a> against Freeman and his union.\n<\/p>\n

\nIn 2004, Freeman’s local launched what they called a "charity" to develop affordable housing for its members. The charity’s board is mostly comprised of union officials, and the charity shares office space with the union.\n<\/p>\n

\nThe problem? In at least two years of operation, the "charity" failed to spend a single cent on its charitable mission.\n<\/p>\n

\n

\n\tThe charity, launched by a scandal-ridden Los Angeles chapter of the Service Employees International Union, had total expenses of about $165,000 for 2005 and 2006, and all of the money went to consulting fees, insurance costs and other overhead, according to its Internal Revenue Service filings.\n\t<\/p>\n

\n\tCharity watchdogs say that nonprofits should never have zero program expenses in two successive years and that well-performing charities direct at least 70% of their annual spending to their charitable purpose.\n\t<\/p>\n

\n\t"Of the 5,000-plus charities we’ve looked at, I don’t think we’ve ever seen one that didn’t spend anything on its charitable programs," said Sandra Miniutti, vice president of Charity Navigator, an online rating service.\n\t<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\nRunning a union-affiliated charity that doesn’t actually do any charity — sounds a bit like the kind of job Rob Blagojevich was asking the SEIU to set up for him<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
