WILKES FOUNDATION SUSPENDED IN CALIFORNIA

"K STREET ON THE TIGRIS" MEETS THE "POWAY MAFIA"

The Wilkes Foundation, a charity run by embattled San Diego lobbyist and defense contractor Brent Wilkes, was suspended last month by the California Secretary of State for failure to submit financial statements, the MadCowMorningNews has learned. 

The suspension of the Wilkes Foundation  appears to have been anything but routine.

A spokesman in the California Secretary of State’s Office stated that the last financial statement the charity filed was over three years ago, in November of 2002.

Asked whether a three-year grace period was the state norm regarding financial filings, the spokesman politely demurred. 

News that the Wilkes Foundation has been concealing their financial records from authorities comes hard on the heels of last week’s shocking report (in the Austin-Statesman) that another Republican lobbyist-run charity, Jack Abramoff’s Capital Athletic Foundation, lied to the IRS about giving more than $330,000 in grants to charities which never received the money.
