Fair enough, our local paper of record criticizes Rep. Alma Adams:
Adams can continue to deflect and deny, or she can lead by honestly assessing the foundation’s flaws and making the necessary changes. She was right to request an audit of the foundation’s books as an important first step.
She also should reveal all foundation donors; release a list of all foundation scholarship recipients; and revise the guidelines of the scholarship awards so no relatives of caucus members would be eligible.
Adams insists the caucus has broken no laws. She’s probably right. Even though special interests could seek to win influence with lawmakers through donations, by law the foundation doesn’t have to disclose its donors. In other words, the practice is legal even if it’s wrong.
