Bart Skelton writes for gun magazines, like his dad did. It's ridiculous to try and make something out of him being paid a few thousand for writing articles for NRA magazines. The deal with Crowe Shooting Supply should probably have gone out to bid now and then. <br />Don't know if it actually did. Also ridiculous to question Buz Mills because Gun Site got commissions for recruiting NRA members. <br />Not sure what Olson got paid for. That looks suspicious. Payments to Keene are really questionable. Marion has been getting paid by NRA for decades and we've been objecting to it for most of that time.<br />Celebrities getting paid for celebrity appearances, chafes a bit, but that's their business.<br />Julie Golob has hosted shows on NRA TV for years, long before she was elected to the board.JeffKnoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12769470560154822526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4146148016062694502.post-25068878875346349922019-06-10T14:56:42.199-04:002019-06-10T14:56:42.199-04:00If it is in the reports, it is not secret then and...If it is in the reports, it is not secret then and not really news. Rather it is a hit piece. Is there not someone credible who could get into this.

Those on the Executive Committee would be the inner circle. Unfortunately, I don't know who is on what committee for the most part. I do know Charles Cotton still heads Audit even though he is now 1st VP and that Graham Hill heads Legislative Affairs. I'm working on updating the BOD attendance spreadsheets that Adam Kraut started.John Richardsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03151468462458613615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4146148016062694502.post-43032658910593666422019-06-10T09:44:38.012-04:002019-06-10T09:44:38.012-04:00Much of those numbers have been reported in either...Much of those numbers have been reported in either the NRA's Form 990 or in reports available at the Annual Meeting. I remember seeing the payments to Marion Hammer, David Keene, Dave Butz, and Bart Skelton for 2018 listed in paperwork available at the Meeting of Members.John Richardsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03151468462458613615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4146148016062694502.post-29767957518010888622019-06-10T08:45:33.618-04:002019-06-10T08:45:33.618-04:00So which board members actually do the work of mak...So which board members actually do the work of making decisions and running the organization?
