Weiner's pay-to-play?

From the Daily News:

Rep. Anthony Weiner is directing $238,000 of this year's federal budget to a Brooklyn nonprofit whose backers have showered him with campaign contributions, records show.

At least four board officers of the Sephardic Addiction and Family Education (SAFE) Foundation have, together with their families and close associates, directed more than $160,000 to Weiner's campaigns, including more than $100,000 for this year's mayoral race.

I have been a probable supporter of Weiner and now feel very bad.This is not the way it is supposed to be. He needs to explain, and soon.And there has to be an end to these special budgets.

Weiner isn't the only poltician that gets money from the Sephardic Community. All of the South Brooklyn politicains do. Lets see... Recchia (his friend is Joe Sitt of Thor Equities, developer of Coney Island., Jerry Nadler, Brook-Krasny, Cymbrowitz. It's an epidemic with these play for play polticians. Drive by Ocean Parkway & Ave. S, you'll see what hundreds of thousand of campaign donations will build. A Mega million dollar Sepahrdic Community Center . Much of that monet at tax payer expense. When is there going to be an independent investigation into these "pay for play" scams?

Other than playing footsies with the interest groups, could someone please tell me something Weiner has actually accomplished? Why do we get stuck with these losers for term after term?
