Shameless

Last weekend brought the big annual shindig for the nonprofit arm of the state Legislature’s minority caucus, and officials sure weren’t acting as if the group was under investigation. Maybe they know something?

Attorney General Tish James, recall, had pronounced herself “troubled” by The Post’s disclosure that the New York State Association of Black and Puerto Rican Legislators raised more than $1 million over two years but didn’t hand out a single student scholarship — its stated mission.

She also vowed to “pursue the facts of any allegation wherever they may lead.”

Yet, as Isabel Vincent reported in Monday’s Post, there was still no talk of scholarships at this year’s conference and dinner, which together eat up nearly all the money the group raises.

Moreover, officials and board members remain tight-lipped about why the group has failed to provide funds to needy students

and refuses to give out the nonprofit’s federal tax returns, as legally required.

In fact, delegates to the already-pricey conference and sold-out gala dinner were asked at a church service to “reach deep into your pockets” and shell out even more money to help meet expenses.

Expenses, by the way, that have traditionally included celebrity speaker fees, limousines, music, “decor” and “awards.”

Most watchdog groups say a legitimate charity should be spending at least a third of its income on its stated mission, But this socalled charity raises $500,000 a year and hasn’t given out a single documented scholarship since 2015. And in the years when it did report scholarship expenses, they amounted to only about 6 percent of its income.

This has been going on for years, yet the state AG’s office has taken no notice. Now James has promised an investigation — but we’re still looking for some sign that she really means it.
