"Des Moines City Council members agreed Monday to review criteria for grants and conclude investigations before they allocate more money to nonprofit groups, some of which are in the midst of scandal."
(snip)"On Monday, a citizen committee gave recommendations for how to allocate almost $5 million to services for low-income residents for next year. The recommendations included $50,000 to Creative Visions, whose allocation for the current year is suspended pending the outcome of a city review of records."(/snip)

I feel compelled to comment on this story. The amount dedicated to Creative Visions is exactly the salary Creative Visions pays Denise Douglas, $50,000... not bad pay for a non-profit org, not bad at all...;)
