Fishy grant transactions raise eyebrows at Justice
Officials with access to the federal cash register pursued last minute spending as Reagan prepared to take office. The CSA Office of Economic Development awarded 41.4 million in 1980, with 18.4 million handed out in the final two days, including a 400000 grant to Harlem Commonwealth Council on Jan 19. Connections between Mukai, the Harlem group, and East Los Angeles Community Union raised questions and a possible criminal probe. Other deals tied Mukai and CSA head Richard Rios to San Jose Development Corp and PSGI MESA, with later moves suggesting impropriety and continuing affiliations. The article notes official denials and ongoing investigations.
