Now a nonprofit in @KathyHochul’s hometown shows the same red flags: missing records and missing filings
Did Hochul and @TishJames look the other way for a fellow Dem?

Political connections, missing filings, and a stunning audit disclaimer are now sparking calls for an investigation into a taxpayer-funded agency in New York State.
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz was hauled before Congress to answer tough questions about fraud, waste and abuse tied to the massive “Feeding Our Future” scandal that rocked his state.
Now, the South Shore Press is blowing the lid off a troubling situation in Buffalo, New York, that critics say raises similar questions about oversight, taxpayer money, and political protection in Kathy Hochul's hometown.
It all also happened on New York State Attorney General Letitia James' watch, and could make New York the Congressional focus of the newest version of the "Somali Learing Center" scandal.
At the center of the controversy is the Seneca Babcock Community Association (SBCA), a taxpayer-funded nonprofit that operates multiple youth and senior centers in Buffalo.
It is exactly a 20 minute ride and 12 miles from its location at 1182 Seneca Street in Buffalo to Hamburg Town Hall, where Governor Kathy Hochul once served as a Hamburg Town Board member.
Public records from the New York State Attorney General's office and the IRS, reviewed by the South Shore Press, appears to show that the organization failed for years to file required financial reports with the New York State Attorney General’s Charities Bureau, despite laws requiring annual disclosures. Searches also show the agency failed to file 990 federal tax forms for many years.
