The indictment against Alabama State Senator E.B. McClain has now been released by the federal government and accuses McClain of personally profiting from his office by getting funds for a non-profit entity called the Heritage to Hope Foundation, Inc (HTHF), also known prior to 2002 as the Christian Resource Center and Community Resource Center (CRC), and basically receiving kickbacks as a result of getting those monies for HTHF.
There are allegations contained in the indictment also that McClain was arranging money to be passed through the Department of Postsecondary Education (DPE) through Lawson State Community College and Bessemer Tech, which later merged with Lawson, to HTHF. Something only referred to as an “advocacy organization” is alleged to have also passed money to HTHF which supposedly then kicked money back to McClain.
