If the 'charity' spends more in salaries and 'fundraising galas' than it does actually helping people, they should come under scrutiny as a money-making scheme for those in charge, period.

Look at all those supposed 'charities' that Hamptonites give to, they are a freakin' joke. Just a way to write off donations to someone's nephew so he'll never work a day in his life, running a 'charity' that gives less money away than it spends on catering for millionaire soirees.

SGK made a big mistake in defunding PP. People now will turn their attention with magnifying glasses to everything SGK does. As it should be. I'll be interested to learn what Handel's salary is and what she actually does to earn it. What they gave to PPO was a drop in the bucket in the grand scheme of things. The fallout will cost them so much more.
