State sues director of Garland-based antidrug charity

The state on Tuesday sued the executive director of a Garland-based anti-drug and low-income housing charity, accusing him of violating nonprofit rules by using tax-free money to pay himself an exorbitant salary, finance his failed congressional race and run a NASCAR racing team.

Among the allegations leveled against Gene Christensen, who this year unsuccessfully challenged Ralph Hall for his congressional seat, is that from 2006 to 2008, he transferred $545,000 from the charity, People Against Drugs Affordable Public Housing, into his personal checking account.

"He simply treats PAD's assets as his own and takes whatever he wants," the suit states.

<<<<snip>>>>>>

The $2 million in revenue the complex generates, according to the attorney general, funds an array of Mr. Christensen's pet projects, including Green Light Racing, a NASCAR truck series team the charity acquired in 2001. In its 2005 tax forms, the charity claimed that $1.2 million it spent on racing parts was for "program services," according to the lawsuit. Investigators note that the trucks do carry a 4-inch anti-drug decal.
