Here’s the report according to mediatakeout.com:
November 06, 2007. WASHINGTON (AP)- The top Republican on the Senate Finance Committee said Tuesday he has launched an investigation into alleged financial wrongdoing involving six well-known televangelists — including two based in Georgia.
Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa sent letters to six Christian media ministries this week requesting information about their expenses, executive compensation and amenities given to executives.
Among them are Bishop Eddie Long of New Birth Missionary Baptist Church in Lithonia and Creflo Dollar Ministries of College Park.
Grassley said he is following up on complaints from the public and news coverage. He said the allegations involve governing boards that aren’t independent and allow generous salaries and housing allowances and amenities such as private jets and Rolls Royces.
Also named by Grassley as targets of the investigation are Paula White Ministries of Tampa, Florida; Benny Hinn Ministries of Grapevine, Texas; Joyce Meyer Ministries of Fenton, Missouri; and Kenneth Copeland Ministries of Newark, Texas.
Now, normally I don’t agree with what mediatakeout has to say, because it’s a predominantly gossip site, but whenever you start off with (AP) near the beginning of an article, it’s pretty official. I also took the time to google this matter, and other OFFICIAL sites are confirming this as well. What do you think?
Oh, by the way…welcome back.
