Jeb Bush's Florida do-gooder with a $761,000 salary
American Thinker ^ | 07/27/2018 | Monica Showalter

Next time you hear President Obama, or Jeb Bush, or Bernie Sanders call for more funds and programs for some social issue, or else praises public-private "partnerships," take a gander at what goes on in such rackets over in Florida, from this Miami Herald report:

Tiffany Carr runs the state’s top domestic violence organization, a nonprofit that uses public money — state and federal — to finance shelters and other essential services. And she makes a good living.

How good? In a June 30, 2017 report, the Florida Coalition Against Domestic Violence disclosed she is paid $761,560 annually, a salary that is approved by its board. She hit that mark after receiving pay raises totaling $313,475 over a two-year period.

“That’s — it’s ridiculous,” said Dan Ravicher, a professor at University of Miami School of Law who focuses on nonprofits, business and social entrepreneurship. “We’re talking almost 2 percent of the budget being paid to one person. That’s pretty unusual.”

Carr’s coalition, a nonprofit that reports its top salaries on annual Internal Revenue Service forms called 990s, is one of many private organizations that receive state funds to provide social services. In addition, the coalition operates as a pass-through, awarding public funds to smaller domestic violence organizations.

So this woman, who runs this non-profit group that supposedly helps battered women, is really, truly, worth her $761,560 salary, and the state just has to cough up for her because of all the value she brings, or else all is lost.

OK, for $750K, “The Happy Turtle” or whatever Jeb is calling himself these days, must be hosing her.

Those looking for the definition of “obscene” need look no further, this is it.

Well, that’s a little over $2,086.47 a day if you work 365 days per year.

52 x 5 = 260 work days per year.

Ten days off for holidays, we’re down to 250 days.

That’s $3240.68 per day or about $405.09 per hour.

If they’re going to try to convince me a guy would be making 25% more, they’ve got their work cut out for them.

I’m sorry, but this comparison is just horribly WRONG!

The cost of living is much cheaper in Calcutta, than Miami!

For that kind of money and every politician backing her, she is giving up something worth much more than snatch...she is giving CASH!

That’s possible too, but it could be just be giving up the gouch because isn’t his money.

They need to take the 7 off the front end of that number and stick with the rest. No way does this position warrant more than $61k a year.

They go into so-called public service to do good.

And with the right political connections SWAMP connections they manage to do real good.

I have gotten so I ignore MOST non-profits...they seem to be mainly virtue signalling for those to afraid to show the truth, ie...people give to non-profits, but they won’t give to a conservative candidate, or conservative non profit, etc...because of what they think the media will do.
