National Action Network's $1.1 million debt doesn't stop Rev. Al Sharpton's $250,000 salary

National Action Network's $1.1 million debt doesn't stop Rev. Al Sharpton's $250,000 salary: "The Rev. Al Sharpton paid himself a six-figure salary for the first time last year - even as his civil rights group drowns in red ink and his tax bill hit nearly $1 million.

After back-to-back years in which he took no compensation from the National Action Network, Sharpton pulled down $250,000 last year, the organization's federal tax filings show.

The payday comes even as his group, a Harlem-based nonprofit organization, lists $1.1 million in unpaid city, state and federal payroll taxes as of Jan. 1, the group's auditor told the Internal Revenue Service."
