Charity or Politics?
« on: September 29, 2006, 11:17:44 AM »
There has been quite a bit of talk about HLA's "charitable" donations.  Let's set the record straight on a few facts, as reported by staff.

United Way:  

Len requires that ALL employees donate to this charity.  If an employee declined to contribute, they were pressured by their supervisor in an attempt to bully them into contributing.  If this failed, Len would require that the supervisor donate money in each employee's name under his chain of command to reflect 100% participation.

Employees were also required to buy tickets to the "Gold Party" and were required to work the event.

How about the abuse shelter?  

Well, Len asked the chairperson at the shelter to publicly support him in the Mountain Brook project.  When she declined, Len quit the board and ordered all employees to cease donating time or funds to this charity.

How about the Rainbow Children's Home?  

The director disapproves of Len's homosexual lifestyle, so HLA donations were withheld.

EVERYTHING HLA does is quid pro quo.  Nothing is done out of "charity" or "good will."

I hope this sheds some light on HLA and Len's "altruism."

Let's not forget the contribution to Ms. Jackson's political campaign and her letter of commendation. Was this quid pro quo?

Of course it was.  The only problem is that her election bid failed, so HLA could only reap the benefit of the letter and not policy.

As an added bonus weren't those contributions paid out of the the Non-Profit side of HLA?

Is that legal?

Ridge Creek made a nice $2,000 donation for Carol Jackson's run for the Secretary of State's office:

A non profit can't throw a political fundraiser for a politician can they?

held on the site of the not profit
food paid for by the non profit
non profit staff PAID to work the event?


HMMMMMMMMMMMMM

I wonder if these kids were volunteers or forced?

Volunteers.  Think about it...is HLA going to send kids, to an event in which they want to look good, that have even the remote possibility of causing a scene.  You have said it yourself, RB, HLA likes to hide the kids that cause trouble.  These were definitely volunteers.

Well, accepting "volunteers" to do the work of people who normally get PAID for their effort is highly ILLEGAL.  It is a violation of Georgia law to use program residents as laborers for the financial benefit of the facility or its principals.  It is also a violation of federal labor law to use minors as labor.

HLA is in a HEAP of TROUBLE here, people.

Any other place and I might agree with that assesment, however this is HLA we're talking about.

The situation could just as easily be forcing restriction kids to work, threatening them with an intervention should they disrupt anything.

Or perhaps forcing the general pop kids to work, threatening them with a restriction should they disrupt anything.....they can claim it falls under the...oh I don't know...sex agreement.

I'm sure you can see the theraputic value in this....

In any event I don't know this to be the case, I'm just taking HLA's proven track record into account.
