UPDATE: New reports confirm that New York Attorney General Letitia James is under intense scrutiny for her focus on political adversaries while ignoring widespread corruption within her state. As local “charities” reportedly steal millions from taxpayers, James continues her aggressive campaign against VDare, a defunct, obscure anti-immigration website based out of West Virginia.
This latest development raises urgent questions about James’ priorities. While she pursues a long-standing vendetta against VDare, an organization that has not received taxpayer funding, massive corruption in New York’s homeless services remains unaddressed. The city’s Department of Investigation has outlined serious allegations against several politically connected service providers that continue to profit from taxpayer dollars.
Documents reveal a shocking pattern of self-dealing and nepotism among these providers. One case involves SEBCO, a nonprofit shelter operator that hired a for-profit company owned by its own executives for security services. This arrangement, executed through a non-competitive process, has resulted in excessive salaries for SEBCO executives, with payments reaching into the hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Meanwhile, Acacia Network, another shelter operator, compensates its top executive nearly $1 million annually, a figure the organization deems “reasonable” based on a consultant’s assessment. Similar patterns of abuse have been documented across multiple service providers, with federal authorities prosecuting some insiders for their actions.
With the homeless crisis escalating, these revelations highlight James’ failure to act against the very organizations that are supposed to support vulnerable populations. Despite extensive evidence of wrongdoing, including nepotism and fraud, James has remained silent while pursuing ideological battles against smaller entities like VDare.
The implications of this neglect are dire for New York residents. As taxpayers continue to fund these problematic services, the question arises: why is James focusing on political opponents rather than addressing the rampant corruption within the charities that rely on public funds?
As this story develops, citizens are left wondering what accountability will come from the Attorney General’s office. Will James shift her focus to the charities that are exploiting taxpayer money? Or will she continue to prioritize political vendettas over the needs of New Yorkers?
Stay tuned for more updates on this urgent situation as it unfolds.
