Seattle pays convicted pimp $150,000 to be its 'Street Czar' and come up with 'alternatives to policing' as he boasts he can talk to 'gangsters and prostitutes who won't sit down with anybody else

Andrè Taylor signed a $12,500 a month deal with the city on July 27 to work as its community liaison, according to the contract published by PubliCola last week as he
said he can talk to 'gang members, pimps and prostitutes who won't sit down with anybody else'

His nonprofit Not This Time will provide recommendations to the city on de-escalation, community engagement and alternatives to policing

Mayor Jenny Durkan's office said the partnership would 'help de-escalate the ongoing situation' by tapping into Taylor's 'lived experience'

In 2016, Taylor vowed to 'go to war' with Seattle after his brother Che Taylor was shot dead by cops

Taylor then set up Not This Time which champions statewide police reforms

This year he emerged as an ally to Mayor Durkan speaking out against the controversial CHOP zone where two people were shot dead

He was then exposed in a secret recording offering to negotiate a million-dollar package with the city on behalf of CHOP occupiers in exchange for them leaving
Back in 2000, Taylor was convicted of seven prostitution-related counts

Not for the people hired to work for them--they can be (& usually are) paid high salaries, but that counts merely as "overhead," like the electricity bill.

You nailed it! Every charity has to file a 990 with the IRS. You can download it. Look for two things: How much the muckety-mucks pay themselves, and look at the grants they had out. You give a dollar to one charity, they take 20 cents and give the rest to another charity as a grant. THEY take 20 cents and give the rest to yet another charity. And THEY take 20 cents . . . you get the picture.

It's like a lump of ice passing from one red-hot hand to another. By the time it gets to the intended recipient, there's nothing left but a wisp of steam.
