NRA Treasurer “Woody” Phillips Moves To Texas, But Was Kept On Payroll For At Least Four Years

A detail from NRA’s IRS Form 990 for 2020.

The tax form also says NRA only made inquiries back to 2014, so this may have gone on longer. He’s living in Texas, and NRA is paying to fly him in to visit HQ. Phillips was pulling down an $800,000 a year salary for being treasurer over this period, when he not only wasn’t at HQ, he wasn’t even in the same state. It starts to sound as if he wasn’t being paid for his work, but for keeping his mouth shut.
