[StBernard] Meraux Charitable Foundation in St. Bernard isembroiled in controversy

[Westley Annis]

I wouldn't expect the IRS to get involved unless Jim Letten finds something.

Just because they spend more on payroll than they give out doesn't mean much
to the IRS. What's more important is how the trust was set-up to determine
how much they need to give away every year.

Just look at all the NGO's that are around to take government money and
spend it on salaries instead of distributing to the needy.

What will be interesting is if the IRS gets involved.  

When a "charitable trust" starts paying out almost as much in "salaries" as
what they have dispensed in grants, I think the IRS might be interested in
exactly how charitable it is.
