BY ARTHUR H. ROTSTEIN Associated Press Writer

TUCSON, Ariz. — The Minuteman Civil Defense Corps has released its federal income tax filing and an independent financial audit for its 2005 operations in response to critics who once were original Minuteman Project members. According to the audit by SalmonBeach & Associates of Dallas, the civilian border watch organization took in $418,000 in donations and registration fees, but spent $449,493 during the year on its operations. That left the non-profit group $31,174 in the red as it entered 2006. According to the Minutemen’s 2005 tax filing with the Internal Revenue Service, which the group released last week along with the auditor’s report, the group spent $280,920 on programs supporting its advocacy of border security between its creation in April 2005 and the end of the year. The group spent slightly more than $23,000 on general expenses and $145,000 on fundraising activities.

PROUDLY BROUGHT TO YOU BY

Sticks and stones ... Recent racially heated outbursts by Oscar winner Mel Gibson and Michael Richards, best known as “Seinfeld” neighbor Kramer, have thrust racism back into the headlines in recent weeks. While some would argue such hate speech is only newsworthy because they are anomalies, others could conclude that similar feelings still simmer in many of us. This week’s Q-Line questions asks: Are the Gibson and Richards rants the isolated feelings of two Hollywood racists, or is racism still rampant in Los Angeles County?
