I've always greatly disliked the FOS program. Can I say how glad I am not in Utah when the program is going? We basically have someone stand up in PH opening exercises and say whoever wants to donate please come up afterward and get a paper. I think the default is for someone who donated last year to get a paper with their name already on it. Going door to door to every house in the ward boundaries may push me over the edge.
That article is pretty incredible. But I can't say I'm totally surprised. Its like any "non-profit" organization that relies on donations to survive. I would rather not know how much our kid's swim team director is making. Its a good program that has helped my kids greatly in the pool, but i am afraid it would make me quite bitter to find out he is making $2 large like some of the BSA council executives.
