Councilman Israel Nieves renewed his call Wednesday for the city to investigate how nonprofit groups get public funds, but he has not yet answered questions about how his own group got money.
In a letter to City Council President Angel Fuentes, Nieves said he will ask the council to approve the hiring of a special investigator to probe 'a series of questionable and possibly illegal activities' involved in the allocation of $11 million in grants.
But it was a $65,000 grant awarded to Nieves' group, the Puerto Rican Culture and Arts Center, that first sparked scrutiny last week.
