MILESTONES, Page 52
CHARGES DROPPED. Against Floyd Flake, 46, three-term New York
Congressman, and his wife Margarett Flake, 42; for embezzlement
and tax evasion; in New York City. The government accused the
Flakes of pilfering $75,000 from funds intended for an
apartment complex for the elderly sponsored by the New York City
church where Flake is pastor. The Flakes denied the charges,
which the Rev. Jesse Jackson and other African-American leaders
claimed were an example of selective prosecution of black
politicians. Flake promised to pay any back taxes he may owe to
the Internal Revenue Service.
