FBI Probing Brian Maughan?
Or so they say... Maughan is the Oklahoma County Commissioner that has ran the SHINE program, a non profit group that uses low level offenders to do local community work. Maughan was sued in April by a former employee/consultant that alleged that checks were being funneled into Maughan's personal checking account. SHINE stands for Start Helping Impacted Neighborhoods Everywhere which is ran by a board as a non profit geared to fix up declining neighborhoods.
The lawsuit focuses on rent paid for office space at the non profit's building, allegedly rented out to other businesses with the rent checks going into Brian Maughan's checking account. One story mentions the benefit concerts that Maughan was said to been promoting.
The recent allegations about the FBI probing Maughan concerns public money being re routed into these fund raising concerts. The concerts are hosted at area casinos and appear to be private money funded as fundraisers for SHINE so one could see what might happen if the events didn't produce a profit to cover the expenses much less any donations for the non profit.
