Politicians - U.S. Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson
I guess they think they can do whatever they want...
Todd J. Gillman and Christy Hoppe recently reported in The Dallas Morning News:
"Longtime Dallas congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson has awarded thousands of dollars in college scholarships to four relatives and a top aide's two children since 2005, using foundation funds set aside for black lawmakers' causes.
The recipients were ineligible under anti-nepotism rules of the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation, which provided the money. And all of the awards violated a foundation requirement that scholarship winners live or study in a caucus member's district."
