Fran Barrett: Albany Fallout: Non-profits

Fran Barrett, Executive Director of CRE, blogged on the Huffington Post about how the meltdown in Albany affects nonprofits in New York.

Here is a exerpt from the article:

"As the leader of a hard working nonprofit, I've got to say all member-item spending is neither bad nor underhanded. Hundreds of good, honorable nonprofits apply for and benefit from member item largesse. It can be the $5,000 difference that allows an inner city day camp to take its kids camping in the fresh air of the country instead of restricting them to a stifling cement schoolyard. Other times, the money is used to buy a soup kitchen a sturdy refrigerator, or to fund an after school program that makes it possible for working single moms to stay at work."
