That doesn't make the organization corrupt, unless it covers the
situation up and does nothing about it. That isn't what happened here.
what happened here is that the daily news uncovered an act
of wrong-doing. and wendell went to uc review and said that
fenton was guilty of that and more -- under his leadership.
(prior to that, may 23, he had told the uc review that he
"didn't know anything about it.") it's not the first time
ucd leadership was negligent, not the first time it took a
newspaper report to expose ucd wrong-doing.

9/8/05 Uniformed U. City worker held in string of
burglaries Incident prompts closer look at hiring,
background checks by ANDREW WHITNEY
One of the men arrested in connection with a string of
summer thefts has been identified as an employee of the
local organization responsible for helping clean the
neighborhood and reduce crime.
Crew Warrenton, who was arrested last week, reportedly
has a lengthy criminal record and several convictions.
Penn Police officials say they have tied him to at least
three of the summer's burglaries.
The arrest raises questions about the hiring practices of
the University City District, which had not performed
criminal background checks on its maintenance employees,
which are hired by a subcontractor.
Penn Police Patrol Captain Joseph Fischer said that
Warrenton was caught Aug. 28 after witnesses near the
intersection of 41st Street and Baltimore Avenue saw him
entering a residence and became suspicious. At the time,
he was on duty and wearing his yellow UCD maintenance
uniform....

I'll let the IRS decide what is against their policies. There is some
distance between an organization recognizing that something crossed
over a line, and the entity who establishes that line taking action on the
transgression. I doubt that the IRS will take action unless they feel
that the UCD did this knowingly, and didn't take any action to prevent
recurrence. And in my opinion, neither of these is true.
it's immaterial whether the irs takes action or not to
establish, as wendell did in the uc review, that ucd was in
violation of irs policy. according to wendell in the uc
review, fenton was guilty of having violated irs policy, of
using ucd resources to endorse a political candidate, of
participating in a political campaign. you and I and the irs
have no need to scratch our heads about that, no need to
squint and figure out where the line is drawn.

Blackwell has gained an excellent staff member--one who will help her
constituents and get her votes because of the effectiveness of her
office. I'm sure she doesn't like how that happened, but I doubt that she will
stay mad for long.
blackwell has gained a ucd insider, fenton. and wendell
chose to publicly vilify fenton. I expect people will do the
math.
