Hot
on the heels of both Charlie Rangel and Maxine Waters being charged
with ethics violations by the House Ethics Committee, the Dallas Morning
News reports
that Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson (D-TX) has been routinely
handing out scholarships from the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation
to friends and family members:

Johnson
awarded nine to eleven scholarships a year from 2005 to 2008, the most
recent years for which information was available. Each of those years,
three or four winners were related to her or her district director, Rod
Givens.....Scholarships have gone to two of the Congresswoman's
grandsons, Kirk and David Johnson; to two of her great-nephews, Gregory
and Preston Moore: and to Givens' son and daughter. Givens did not
respond to requests for comment, and none of the scholarship recipients
could be reached....Of 43 scholarships awarded between 2005 and 2008, 15
went to relatives of Johnson or Givens..
