Durbin “Never Worked to Appropriated Funding” for SALF Foundation….Except for Securing $921,000 Grant for SALF Foundation
From The Sidebar (H/T Steve Bartin)
In e-mails last year, US Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin’s press secretary Christina Mulka provided a variety of false information about her boss’s relationship with the Save-A-Life Foundation (SALF), the embattled Chicago-area nonprofit under investigation by the Illinois Attorney General and apparently by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Senator Durbin wrote no legislation on behalf of SALF and never worked to appropriated funding for the organization.
