Yes, but…

This story, published Saturday by the Review-Journal, contains the following line: "The Review-Journal reported Friday morning that the foundation’s executive director, John Jasonek, got $129,000 for 12 hours of work per week between Sept. 1, 2004 and Aug. 31, 2005. He received another $134,000 in the 2004 tax year as head of the teachers association."

And that’s true. The R-J did report that on Friday.

But on Thursday, another newspaper you may have heard of reported the exact same thing. (Yes, if you’re too lazy to click on the link, it was CityLife.)

Now, we’re not asking for credit from the R-J. That would be too much. But at least don’t try to make it seem like you broke the story when it fact somebody else broke it!

We’re just saying.

Steve,

Nevada has a new “ethics” boss.

Nevada? Ethics?

One of THE classic oxymorons of all time.

Does anybody want to guess who made this plush appointment?

Sam

PS

Whatever you do, do NOT file an

ethics (BURP!) complaint.

If the Foundation is registered as a 501(c)(3), then whomever is dropping the dime on Jasonek et.al. may wish to let the IRS know what is going on. Perhaps an excise tax on any excess benefit transaction is due, or maybe there are “disqualified person(s)” (”any person, with respect to any transaction, in a position to exercise substantial influence over the affairs of the applicable tax-exempt organization” IRS publication), who may make the Foundation liable for excise taxes (35%).
