From the NY Post:Queens politicians have tried to steer $286,000 in taxpayer money this fiscal year to a charity dedicated to preserving the name of Sean Bell.
But Nicole Paultre-Bell, the founder of the When It's Real It's Forever foundation, has stayed mum on what she'd do with the money.
Rep. Gregory Meeks (D-Queens) earmarked $189,000 in the 2010 federal budget for Paultre-Bell's group, which she founded after her fiancé died in a hail of police bullets outside a Jamaica strip club the night before his wedding in November 2006.
Embattled state Sen. Malcolm Smith (D-Queens) funneled $75,000 to Paultre-Bell's group through a member-item request.
Meeks and Smith are cofounders of a different charity, the New Direction Local Development Corp., currently under investigation by federal authorities.
Three City Council members -- all from southeast Queens, where Sean Bell grew up -- earmarked $22,000 to send to Paultre-Bell from the city budget. The council members said the money was for community development and to support a local baseball league started by the foundation.
According to tax documents obtained by The Post, the foundation received about $13,000 from undisclosed donors in 2007 and spent about $8,000. No filings could be found for 2008 or 2009.
Paultre-Bell is listed as the foundation president, with two of her family members listed as vice president and secretary.

So Rep Meeks gives away our money to this group and doesn't have a clue how it would be spent?
How about a creating a Shrine of the sexual arts dedicated to all Topless joints. It would honor Sean Bell for going to the gritty T&A joint the night before his wedding to oggle some nasty girls and maybe more.
So instead of being at home getting rest to ready for his wedding next day, he just had to have a taste of the wild side one more time and is no more right or wrong.
Rep Meeks, what did you intend for the use of this money - allow Bell Fiance to spend it on herself for her loss? Just say so, instead of calling this a charity if the money has not been distributed as such. It seems that Rep Meeks is too generous with our money.
While we're at it, how come she gets to use the hyphen in her name. They were never married. She's Nicole Paultre not Paultre-Bell. Generating a little revised history along with some sympathy?
Our tax money down the crapper, and we don't even get a chance to wipe our ass with it. Thanks Meeks; bringin' it home to your peeps, right?
Stupidest foundation name ever.
I'm confused here!!!! What did Sean Bell ever do to CONTRIBUTE TO SOCIETY. NOTHING ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!! He's NOT A HERO!! HE's NOT A MAN OF HONOR!!!! Enough Already no matter how they try and SUGAR COAT IT, SEAN BELL WAS A HUSTLER AND LOSER!!!
Absolutely disgusting. Hate towards a dead man who was shot up by reckless cowboys. As if you knew the man personally. So what if he went to some titty bar.
Making nasty comments about the guy doesn't make you a Fucking hero or an honorable person either. What the Fuck did you do to contribute to society?
Yes what a bunch of Holy Saints and Angels commenting on the character of a dead person. Get off your moral high horses. The man is dead and its old news.
Fuck the NYPD and fuck Sean Bell. They'll be meeting each other in hell at the time of the last "officers" demise.
When you lie down with dogs, you get up with fleas.
Oh, No. More money for the race-baiters. If you want to spend that money well, perhaps it should go to Alcoholics Anonymous to discourage other young men from spending too much time in trashy bars and nightclubs.
This is an unfortunate intersection of terrible error with a club that was nothing more than an attractive nuisance.
What the Fuck did you do to contribute to society?
More on thread, WTF did the corpus delecti, while he was still breathing, of course, do to contribute to society that warrants some politician spending the taxpayer's hard earned money on what's obviously nothing more than a lucre generating scam?
Gregory Meeks seems to have a habit of funneling money to "charities" without any oversight of how they spend the money that they raise:

She legally changed her name. kinda weird, huh? He's been dead longer than the marriage would have lasted. I wonder what she would have done to him if this terrible incident never happened, but she found out that he went whoring the night before his wedding. He'd still be dead. I actually do feel sorry for her. Becoming a pawn of the Rev. Al.

Exactly where did I write that I hated the man?? Can You Read!!! I hate no one so don't put words in my mouth:) Your a fucking idiot so stop tripping over your Dick and get over yourself:) P.S. It's Old worthless news thats what it is:)
I guess crime really pays! Our money wasted once again. Meeks needs to go and quickly. While we're at it, we need to abolish the entire City Council. Nothing but a band of criminals. Think of the money we'd save.
What did Sean Bell ever do to CONTRIBUTE TO SOCIETY.
He caused it harm by being at a Tit and Ass place that was suspected location for illegal drugs and prostitution.
He steps outside dazed and did not listen to instructions "police hands up" and those bozos shot him up. Well 2 wrong don't make a right Bell is dead and the Bozos are ruined in life.
FUCK SEAN BELL
Oh....
...AND FUCK ANY POLITICIAN WASTING ANYONE'S TAX DOLLARS ON THAT SCUM
Pandering politicians, giving money to non-existing charities to make themselves look good.
Sean Bells's last act on earth was to drive his Nissan Altima into a cop. Bell tried to kill a cop before the cops tried to kill him. That's the finding of the court not a personal opinion
"That's the finding of the court not a personal opinion"
Courts and Jurors most often than not give the Cops freedom to use force sometimes fairly liberally. This does really stink though, didn't see settle out of civil court for the wrongful suit? If she did get money than she's just being more Jewish than a Sid. Money grubbers. Get a Job.
This is shameful.
