"Khazei OK’d hiring brother at nonprofit; Did not clear payments with board beforehand" August 22, 2011|By Noah Bierman, Globe Staff
Alan Khazei, who is basing his campaign for US Senate on his experience leading nonprofit organizations, paid his brother nearly $40,000 as a consultant for the charity he ran over a three-year period, an action that appears to run afoul of his nonprofit’s conflict-of-interest policy.
Khazei also paid his brother, Hollywood writer Lance Khazei, $41,250 as a consultant for three months of work on his 2009 Democratic primary campaign for the Senate, in which Alan Khazei placed third.
Khazei said his brother is a talented writer and creative thinker, and that his $50-an-hour cost to the charity, Be the Change, was relatively low in the scheme of a multimillion dollar budget.
A thousand here, a thousand there, soon we are talking about real money -- never mind the lame-ass excuse.
He was hired by the nonprofit to advise on its Internet strategy, write some of its promotional materials, and help in dealing with celebrities the charity was trying to enlist in promoting itself, Khazei said.
“He’s a professional. His rate as a writer was multiple times that,’’ Khazei said. “We’re very close and he’s very talented.’’
Oh, that makes everything okay then.
