1. How much money Richards makes
In his opening statement, committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) said he doesn't think Planned Parenthood needs federal subsidies; just look at Richards's salary, he said.
"I could be here a long time listing out fairly exorbitant salaries," he said.
When it was time to ask Richards questions, Chaffetz hammered the Planned Parenthood president on her salary. Here's an excerpt:
CHAFFETZ: Your compensation in 2009 was $353,000. Is that correct?
RICHARDS: I don't have the figures with me. But …
CHAFFETZ: It was. Congratulations. In 2013, your compensation went up some $240,000. Your compensation, we're showing based on tax returns, is $590,000, correct?
RICHARDS: That's not my annual compensation. I — actually, my annual compensation is $520,000 a year. I believe there was a program that the board sort of put together for a three-year — I'm happy — again, I think we have been extremely forthcoming with all of our documents.
The exchange seriously upset Democrats in the room.

My first criteria in making charitable donations is first the worthiness of the organization and its recipients. Secondly, I look at what percentage of my donation actually reaches the intended recipient. The Salvation Army stands tall in both tests. Planned Parenthood falls short in both.

you have statistics on this? or is it because you like one and not the other so of course they fall short.

Which is not all that much compared to average CEO salary. The median being just below $700k. So compared to her peers, she is underpaid.

Sgt Aaron Kennedy, MS
Sgt Tom Cunnally That's a single day, in a 30+ year career, in front of an Antagonistic Audience who is trying to trip her up, and tear down an organization which she has worked for over the last decade.
As for her biography, again, a very limited snapshot of a person, who is likely far more complex than 10-50 pages could portray.
Any assessment, one way of the other would be unfair.

Sgt Tom Cunnally I have zero doubt this issue will pop up. It pops up every 2 years as part of the standard election cycle.
