NRA Happening - 03/25/21 12:43 PM
From The Trace, because I never see this stuff elsewhere.
The lawyer of two dissident NRA board members is now representing a third — plus a former director who resigned in protest. It’s the latest sign of internal unrest at the gun group. In February, Phillip Journey, a Kansas judge who served on the NRA board in the 1990s and was reelected in 2020, said he wanted an independent examiner appointed in the NRA's Texas bankruptcy case to investigate the group's compliance with nonprofit law, perks paid to top executives, and related matters under legal scrutiny. The NRA opposes the idea. Last week, we reported that Journey’s lawyer was also representing Rocky Marshall, a director who recently urged other board members to join Journey’s request to appoint an examiner. In a bankruptcy hearing yesterday, the same lawyer notified the court that he's now also representing longtime board member Owen Mills, as well as Esther Schneider, who resigned in 2019 after publicly calling for an outside investigation into the NRA’s alleged financial improprieties.
