NY Attorney General Backing Down on Scrutiny of Red Cross' Sandystorm Spending?

New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman sought details on how the Red Cross spent money on Superstorm Sandy relief, ProPublica's Justin Elliott reports. There has been lack of transparency in how the charity spent $300 million raised after the storm, ProPublica reports.

Last fall, the nonprofit and the AG's office struck an agreement on the Red Cross's release of information about future disasters. But that final agreement did not address what has been going on with the Sandy money.

The correspondence was obtained through a Freedom of Information request, ProPublica said.
