- <p> 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.
