I think an investigation needs to be launched
“Perhaps he should ask Pennsylvania Democrat John P. Murtha. He’s the sponsor for this earmark. He also did not show up to defend this so-called Center. Supposedly, the Center is part of a corporation called Concurrent Technologies (link to their web site), which is based in Johnstown, PA.
Here is where it gets interesting. Concurrent Technologies Corporation (CTC) is actually a Section 501(c)(3) entity. Their 2005 Form 990 reports no direct support from the public (charitable contributions), yet it has received over $116 million in government grants in that year.”
You’re absolutely correct and CTC isn’t the only company murtha has done this with, there are many. I still contend he is the most corrupt member of Congress and that’s saying a lot.
Guidestar has the 990’s going back years for those of you who’d like to look at them. You have to register but the free portion is enough. You need to look at not only CONCURRENT TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION but the other subsidiaries listed at Guidestar CTC Foundation and CTC Public Benefit Corporation. Concurrent Technologies Corp spends a lot of $$ on lobbying.
