"[Seward Neighborhood Group] needs to be more on top of their finances. Just because there are dollars on the horizon, it doesn't mean they are there." ......... from Jack Whitehurst, a NRP neighborhood specialist, as printed in the September 2003 Seward Profile.
The article states that the Seward Neighborhood Group (Scott Vreeland, president) has been spending thousands of dollars of NRP funds - without a contract. Hmmmmm.........that's exactly how the West Bank lost $1.2 million of NRP funds when Dania Hall burned down - the money was released without a contract - to Tim Mungavan, Vreeland's mentor on the West Bank. What a coincidence! Would someone from the NRP translate Whitehurst's statement above, and explain why the NRP hasn't tightened up its financial controls yet?
