FOUNDATION October 24, 2022 Leigh M. Chapman Pennsylvania Secretary of the Commonwealth Pennsylvania Department of State Division of Charities Investigation 613 North Street, 212 North Office Building Harrisburg, PA 17120 Mr. Mark R. Corrigan Chairman Pennsylvania Ethics Commission Finance Building 613 North Street, Room 309 Harrisburg, PA 17120-0400 Re: Investigation of Mr. John Fetterman and Braddock Redux, Inc. Dear Secretary Chapman and Chairman Corrigan: ‘The CPAC Foundation (“CPAC-F”) hereby submits this complaint to the Division of Charities Investigations and to the Pennsylvania Ethics Commission. We request a review of the transactions outlined below to determine whether violations of state and/or federal law occurred with respect to the operation of Braddock Redux, Inc. and the acquisition of real property by Mr. John Fetterman. Background During his term as Braddock Mayor, Mr. Fetterman established a non-profit called Braddock Redux. Its stated purpose was: “revitalization through the creative re-use of existing structures...” (Exhibit 1) The board of this non-profit includes, during the relevant time, Mr. Fetterman (Board president) and Jebediah Feldman (Board vice president). Braddock Redux is also largely funded by taxpayer monies funneled to the organization as government grants. In 2007, the Board’s vice president, Mr. Feldman purchased a commercial parcel for $75,000 in his personal capacity. In 2011, Mr. Feldman sold an unimproved portion of that property to Braddock Redux for $1. In 2014, after no improvement to the property, Braddock Redux sold the parcel to Mr. Fetterman for $1,100 or $.16 per square foot. (Exhibit 2) While there are no formal comparables listed in the Allegheny County Real Estate Portal, we believe this to be significantly below market value. Property values of the remaining parcels on the same 1199 NORTH FAIRFAX STREET, SUITE SO0A, ALEXANDRIA, VIRGINIA 22307 (202) 347-9388 WWW.CONSERVATIVE.ORGblock average $2 per square foot. Mr. Fetterman, therefore, purchased the property for about 8% of the average value of other properties on the same block. ‘The transaction history, the minimal value of the sale price of the property to Mr. Fetterman, and the magnitude of the discount of the property in question when compared to other properties on the same block give rise to the appearance of improper conduct. Violation of the Braddock Redux Corporate Charter Braddock Redux’s corporate charter is unambiguous in terms of prohibiting self-dealing. Its articles of incorporation make clear that “no part of the net earnings of the corporation shall inure to the benefit of or be distributable to any contributor, director, officer, or other private individual or person...” (Exhibit 3) A transaction in which Mr. Fetterman benefitted would seem to patently violate the Braddock Redux articles of incorporation. As such, we request a review of this matter. Potential Breach of Fiduciary Du Pennsylvania state law creates a fiduciary duty for officers. 15 Pa.C.S. § $712(c) states that “an officer [of a corporation] shall perform his duties as an officer in good faith, in a manner he reasonably believes to be in the best interests of the corporation and with such care, including reasonable inquiry, skill and diligence, as a person of ordinary prudence would use under similar circumstances.” An officer of a corporation may not engage in self-dealing without violating his/her fiduciary duty to the corporation. Commonwealth v. New Foundations, Inc., 182 A.3d 1059 (Pa. ‘Commw. Ct. 2018). The president of a non-profit organization directing the organization to sell an asset to the president at a below-market rate would appear to be a clear violation of fiduciary obligations. Failure to Comply With Pennsylvania's Non-Pro} nance Law Not only do the transactions in question appear on their face to run afoul of Fetterman’s fiduciary obligations, but Pennsylvania law has also set forth specific duties before a non-profit corporation may enter into a contract with officers or directors of a corporation that they control: © The non-profit must give notice to the board of directions of the material facts of the transaction; «The transaction must be approved by a majority of the board of disinterested directors; and ‘+ The nonprofit and its directors must demonstration that the transaction was “fait” atthe time it was authorized. Commonwealth v. New Foundations, Inc., 182 A.3d 1059 (Pa. Commw. Ct. 2018) (citing 15 Pa.C.S. § 5728). ‘The third point is particularly noteworthy, as it puts the burden of explaining the transaction, and demonstrating its faimess, squarely on the organization. This is an affirmative obligation that must be satisfied prior to the transaction. Nowhere in the record, however, does it appear that Braddock Redux or Mr. Fetterman complied with these requirements. 2Inaccurate Information on IRS Tax Returns of Braddock Redux Question 28(a) of the 2011 IRS Non-Profit Tax Retum form specifically asks: “Was the organization a party to a business transaction with . .. [a] current or former officer, director, trustee or owner?” In its 2011 retums, Braddock Redux answered this question in the negative, despite the Board vice president selling property to the non-profit. (Exhibit 4) It is clear from property records and the “organizations tax filings that: 1) Braddock Redux was a party to the real estate transaction; and 2) ‘Mr. Feldman was a board member at the time of the transaction. As president of Braddock Redux, ‘Mr. Fetterman failed in his duty to ensure that its tax filing was complete and accurate. In its 2014 tax retum, Braddock Redux answered a similar question on its 2014 Form 990 (Part IV Question 28(a)) also in the negative. (Exhibit 5) Again, Braddock Redux failed to disclose the sale of the relevant parcel to Board President Fetterman on its Form 990. Given the public record, these two tax returns appear facially inaccurate. Acquisition of Properties Condemned by the Allegheny County Redevelopment Authority Beyond the acquisition of property from a non-profit he controlled, Mr. Fetterman purchased other properties on the same block that raise concems as well. In particular, he acquired five parcels that had been condemned by the Allegheny County Redevelopment Authority during his tenure as Mayor. Exhibit 6) Conveniently, Braddock Redux vice president Jebediah Feldman was also project manager for the Allegheny County Redevelopment Authority, in addition to his position as vice president of Braddock Redux around this time. (Exhibit 7) While Mr. Feldman is not the subject of this ‘complaint, these data points create an appearance of the use of insider information by Mr. Fetterman to acquire property after the county had condemned it. As such, we request a review of the information to propriety of these transactions. Conclusion Based on publicly available data, we are calling on the Pennsylvania Department of State and the Pennsylvania Ethics Commission to conduct a review of these matters and issue a public report of the propriety of Mr. Fetterman’s actions. Respectfully, Jig David H. Safayian Senior Vice President AttachmentsEXHIBIT 1Return of Organization Exempt From Income Tax Under sation 503(c, 527, or 4947(2(4 f the Enteral Revenue Cade (except private {oundatons) ot ener ste secunty numbers on ths form a= it maybe made puble ‘Tovrmaton aout Form 980 ana atrucuons at wa AS eo /fmoo0 2 chock fai TT tte ee aren com feos PRRERRRETS = Trmanded eum | SURRY SEAT cozy 913-1391 Fane anddeers oper oncer WG) Te ths «group return or ‘ie tomany staeer sytem?
