Oregon cracks down on supposed charities:

<snip>
A new law makes Oregon the first state in the nation to crack down on charities that spend little of their money on their missions.

House Bill 2060, signed by the governor this month, will eliminate state and local tax subsidies for charities that spend more than 70 percent of donations on management and fundraising, rather than programs and services, over a three-year period.

“No other state has done this. We’re the first in the country and we should be proud of that,” said Jim White, executive director of the Nonprofit Association of Oregon.

I wish every state would do this.
If they really want to help, they will restructure their charity.
