NEW YORK: Attorney General’s Office To Investigate Boner Pill Purchases By Former St. Patrick’s Chairman

The New York state Attorney General’s office has opened an investigation into the finances of New York City’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade organization. Last month it was reported that the group’s notoriously anti-gay former chairman, John Dunleavy, had used parade funds to buy “male enhancement” drugs and has made other questionable purchases. The Irish Voice reports:

A letter sent last month by the parade’s board of directors to the Attorney General’s Charities Bureau prompted the investigation. The letter detailed a “misuse of assets” by John Dunleavy, the former chairman of the board’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade and Celebration Committee, former board member Michael Cassels, and Dunleavy’s assistant Carla Chadwick. The board sent the letter to the Charities Bureau to comply with reporting regulations New York State requires of non-profit groups.

The Irish Voice has learned that the board of directors received confirmation last week that the Charities Bureau will investigate, and wants supporting documentation to go along with a forensic audit of the parade’s finances that was conducted by the board in June after Dr. John Lahey was voted in as chairman. In particular, the bureau wants back-up on certain double billings and other misuse of assets.
