Philly Gun Buyback Corrupt
I am shocked. A gun buyback program gets $800K in federal grants. That’s actually shocking too. But the more shocking part is an audit found that $479,183 of that was misused, including someone giving themselves $85k in salary increases.

The Salary is higher than that … $143,767 a year!
“The organization’s sole employee, gave himself a $85,065 pay increase over a two year period. The increase brought his total salary to $287,565, which was higher than the organization’s board of directors approved, auditors say.”

It’s Philly, it’s the norm.

I’d say all $800,000 got misused, and $479,183 was stolen outright, but that is only my opinion.

My gun buyback program uses no government funds at all.

If Geraldo mentioned it on his show, I have not seen that in the hit results. It seems to get some eyeball love when mentioned here.
