Certainly not a good look, for Devos and tRump, but the Special Olympics will be fine without the tax payers dollars. Beyond the main,HQ in cherry blossom town, (DC) many states have special olympic "franchises". Maybe a shot across the bow that most of them could reel in the wasteful spending they have. The main one (DC)spends more than it takes in. (according to the 2016 990 form) Not well run. $18 million for various fundraising/mailing services???? Something a little sketchy about NOT being able to find information on LW Robbins/Holliston mass. (who got $12 million). Website is down. Phone contacts don't exist. LW Robbins has other big name non profits as well.wahoomurf wrote: ↑Wed Mar 27, 2019 2:00 pm Betsy D.,our grand and glorious Secretary of Education,has an idea. Let's cut funding for the Special Olympics.Those lame and lazy,crippled and crazy retards,get all the money they need from private contributions.They are worse money grubbers than the myriad "welfare queens" that live on the wrong side of the tracks. So let's cut 'em off from ANY federal funding.If they need a bag of pretzels or a bottle of water,they should all get jobs or beg.

Not that it matters, but have a family member that is retarded. Been involved my entire life. Find it a little untawdry that JANET FROETSCHER makes a half a million a year in salary and the HQ/Washington DC spends $4.7 in travel. When it's such a volunteer driven charity.
****After doing some more digging, it looks like LW Robbins has morphed into RKD group, which does NOT show the Special Olympics as a client. https://rkdgroup.com/work/
According to the 990 from 2017, the most recent, major fundraising now goes to Production Solutions, Vienna, VA. They got a cool $13.4 million. Wonder how much they raised
