very, very well......
Jenny Beth Martin, the super PACs chairwoman, oversees all its expenditures, according to organization spokesperson Daniel Broughton, meaning she sets her own $15,000 monthly fee for strategic consulting payments that have totaled $120,000 since July.
She also draws a salary as president of the Tea Party Patriots nonprofit arm getting more than $272,000 in the 2012 fiscal year, according to the groups most recent tax filing.
Her twin salaries put her on track to make more than $450,000 this year, a dramatic change in lifestyle for the tea party activist, who had filed for bankruptcy in 2008 and then cleaned homes for a period of time to bring in extra money.
Martin, through Broughton, declined to comment. But Broughton said Martins fees could not objectively be considered unreasonable.
