Susan Bassi-City Council Lady Cop Blocks Questions
As local officials claim they are out of money and will have to do painful budget cuts, we do the math. This is part of our ongoing reporting on WomenSV, a nonprofit that duped private donors and taxpayers out of $2.2 million and claimed the organization was training police on how to handle DV calls.
We found the nonprofit was referring business to divorce attorneys and protecting political careers with those same divorce attorneys when it came to workplace and DV issues that arose in the local courts. The pattern consistent with a Honey Pot Operation, only on a local level.
The nonprofit's founder, Ruth Patrick Darlene, was never questioned by police, elected mayors or city council members when the math didn't add up.
Elected officials sent money to the nonprofit, never questioning how the public funds were being spent. So we kept asking, and brought a camera.
WomenSV is one example of a nonprofit that dupes donors and taxpayers but acts to make friends with the polticians and networks that keep them in business.
Please support local journalists covering the police, courts, attorneys, judges politicans and nonprofits paid with public funds, otherwise known as taxpayer money.
