Rep. Mary McAllister (D-Cumberland)
Tax records show that a state lawmaker who heads a state- and federal-funded nonprofit organization drew more than 20 percent of the program's revenues as her salary.
Democratic State Representative Mary McAllister (D-Cumberland) runs Operation Sickle Cell.
The group's most recent federal tax return shows revenues of almost $528,000, of which McAllister reportedly received more than $108,000 in salary and benefits between July 2002 and June 2003. McCallister says she thinks the compensation is fair since she went unpaid in the early years of the 31-year-old program."
