The organization, funded entirely by taxpayers, has collected roughly $7 million in government funding since 2017, while paying out at least $830,000 in salaries to Hill, Robinson and other members of their family, tax filings and state documents show.

That's $120k/year if it was to a single person, but it's to several. Feels like a non-story, he's clearly not getting rich off of this.

He's clearly not objective and is profiting off of taxpayers.

A rip off is a rip off even if it's not a ton of cash. 830k seems like a lot to me.

No no no you don’t understand… it’s okay if you’re a republican. Anything else would be literally communism.

How naive is u?

So, just to be clear, he is fighting against something that is in his financial interest to support, right?
