A state probe of charities with links to the United Farm Workers Union found they did not break any laws for nonprofit organizations, the state attorney general announced Tuesday.
“We found no basis to any of the allegations that we investigated,” Attorney General Bill Lockyer said in a statement.
However, Lockyer said there was “the appearance of impropriety” and recommended the charities strengthen their procedures to avoid it in future.
Lockyer investigated after the Los Angeles Times reported in a series of January articles that the UFW and several affiliated charities appeared to have misrepresented the uses to which certain donations would be put.
With an uncertain future and a new administration casting doubt on press freedoms, the danger is clear: The truth is at risk.
