Senate Finance Committee Ranking
Member Ron Wyden, D-Ore., today released the following statement on the latest
reporting on allegations of N.R.A. self-dealing:
“Nonprofit organizations are exempt from federal taxes so
they can better contribute to society, not so their executives and board
members can enjoy luxurious lifestyles and further personal business interests on
the backs of taxpayers. Recent reporting detailing lavish spending by N.R.A.
officials reinforces our Finance Committee investigation into allegations of
self-dealing and raises serious questions about whether the N.R.A’s tax-exempt
status should be revoked. Our investigation will add to this record when it’s
complete.”
