Just outrageous how the taxpayer's money was being shipped to Democrats.
Pork for porkers.
This needs grand jury action.
A nonprofit with ties to Democrat Stacey Abrams has become the center of a controversy after receiving a staggering $2 billion in taxpayer funds. According to the Washington Free Beacon, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) discovered that the funds were initially allocated by the Biden administration’s Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and were earmarked for Power Forward Communities, a group with minimal prior revenue.
In April 2024, the EPA awarded Power Forward Communities the grant as part of the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund program. The timing and size of the grant have raised eyebrows, given that Power Forward Communities was established in late 2023 and reported only $100 in revenue during its first three months.
According to the Free Beacon, “Power Forward Communities’ grant was one of just eight Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund grants that the EPA doled out in April 2024 and that, altogether, totaled $20 billion. EPA administrator Lee Zeldin announced on Feb. 13 that his staff and Department of Government Efficiency officials discovered that the Biden administration parked that same $20 billion at an outside financial institution before leaving office, limiting the federal government’s oversight of the program.”
With Power Forward Communities being linked to Stacey Abrams, ethical questions have arisen over the beneficiaries of taxpayer dollars under the Biden administration. Critics are questioning the selection process for these massive grants and whether political favoritism played a role. Republicans have long voiced concerns that Biden administration initiatives would be used to bolster organizations specifically created to receive federal funding under programs like the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund.
“When we learned about the Biden Administration’s scheme to quickly park $20 billion outside the agency, we suspected that some organizations were created out of thin air just to take advantage of this,” Zeldin told the Free Beacon. “I made a commitment to members of Congress and to the American people to be a good steward of tax dollars and I’ve wasted no time in keeping my word.”
“As we continue to learn more about where some of this money went, it is even more apparent how far-reaching and widely accepted this waste and abuse has been,” he continued. “It’s extremely concerning that an organization that reported just $100 in revenue in 2023 was chosen to receive $2 billion. That’s 20 million times the organization’s reported revenue.”
