| A darling of liberals, the Legal Services Corp. - which once had Hillary on
its board - got into trouble again; one of its North Carolina affiliates was
heavily fined for violating the law.
North Carolina Farmworker Legal Services flouted a federal regulation
banning the use of LSC funds to assist aliens anywhere outside of the United
States; it was caught using federal and/or state tax money to help aliens in
Mexico who had yet to arrive in the United States.
For so violating federal law, N.C. Farmworkers Legal Services was fined
$17,050 - a sum equal to the amount the agency had spent in two weeks of trying
to illegally extend LSCs duties from representing the poor in America to
representing the poor abroad as well. (Who will pay the $17,050 fine is
unknown, but watchdogs need to make sure LSCs North Carolina umbrella group,
Legal Services of North Carolina, doesnt just use taxpayer money to pay its
fine.)
One good result - N.C. Farmworkers Legal Services, the LSC affiliat. |
| My ex-wife went to them asking for free legal help. Because she
doesnt have to claim my child support as income, she looks poor

false allegations of child abuse against me. |
| As a result of this indiscretion, the Legal Services of North Carolina
subsidiary that has served migrant farmworkers will be out of business
at the end of the year. And Legal Services of North Carolina will pay a
fine equal to the $17,050 in tax funds spent on two weeks work south of
the border.
