The new audit cites several concerns about the fund:
- The awarding of grants not always consistent
- Grant decisions weren't always documented
- There were no onsite visits
- The audit makes no mention of political influence or connection to Pugh.

Pugh has yet to be charged. Sure hope she's feeling better.

Cummings is next in line for a whippin.

BALTIMORE — A new audit WRT ousted Baltimore Mayor Catherine Pugh's book deals makes no mention that her
shady financial dealings touched the city's black Children and Youth Fund.
<><> The fund is managed by a black charity that took donations and then bought ousted Mayor Pugh's books.
<><> To date, about $36 million has been allocated to the fund,
<><>but just $9.6M went to organizations serving needy black children and youth.
<><> Baltimore pays Associated Black Charities' (ABC) Diane Bell McKoy, to manage the fund.
<><> The audit came after ABC disclosed it bought children's books from Pugh's company, using money from the charity's donors. (H/T wbaltv.com)

The conclusion drawn is that Pugh and Associate Black Charities colluded in secret to tap the fund to enrich her.

Might also conclude the greedy Cummings and his wife have their greedy fingers in this money pot, too.

==================================

The new audit cites several concerns about the black charity:
- The awarding of grants is not always consistent
- Grant decisions weren't always documented
- There were no onsite visits
- The audit makes no mention of political influence
- The audit makes no connection to Pugh...or the Cummings.
