As Leaks Show Lavish NRA Spending, Former Staff Detail Poor Conditions At Nonprofit [View all]
A series of internal National Rifle Association documents leaked online over the weekend, detailing lavish six-figure spending on clothing and travel expenses for CEO Wayne LaPierre.
The disclosures prompted board member Allen West to speak out. On Tuesday he announced that he had previously called for LaPierre's resignation, and argued that "it is imperative that the NRA cleans its own house." A second NRA board member followed suit on his Facebook page by writing, "it is time for new management."
These developments, combined with a cascade of stories about other incidents of runaway spending at the gun rights organization, especially rankled former rank-and-file NRA employees.
They told NPR about low wages, pension problems and a culture of fear within the organization that treated ordinary staff very differently than its leadership.
