Faith-Based Program Could Be Target Of Democratic House

Probes seen into use of funds; Jewish vote heavily Democratic; new faces on the Hill.

This week’s Democratic wave, which swept at least six Jewish candidates into the U.S. House and two into the Senate and capsized the careers of several high-ranking Republicans, could also lead to probes of charges of corruption and misuse of funds in the Bush administration’s faith-based initiative.

With Democrats about to take control of the House — and aggressive lawmakers like Rep. Henry Waxman (D-Calif.) set to assume critical committee chairs — the House is expected to assume wide-ranging oversight responsibilities that critics say have been largely ignored since the arrival of a Republican administration in 2001.

“What the Republicans and various members of the Republican constituency really fear is that a Democratic Congress will use its investigative machinery to look into the dealings between Republican politicians and faith-based groups,” said Johns Hopkins University political scientist Benjamin Ginsberg.
