LANSING, MI (WKZO AM/FM) – State Senate Minority Leader Aric Nesbitt of Van Buren County is asking the U.S. Attorney General to investigate two Dearborn-based nonprofits.
Nesbitt wants a review of ACCESS and the National Association of Yemeni Americans along with the grant oversight practices of several state agencies, saying he has concerns about “red flags” in their operations.
He says their use of taxpayer funds has raised questions.
ACCESS is the country’s largest Arab American community nonprofit and issued a response, saying they abide by the laws and “are a gold standard in accountability, with full compliance to our funding requirements.”
NAYA’s president called the letter from Nesbitt “uncalled for” and rebutted the claims made.
Nesbitt is running for governor.
