9 US AIDS charities pay their directors over $100,000 a year. Directors of the 9 which receive $53 million a year from federal, state, and local governments, are in charge of operations, budgets and staff. Rep. Tom Coburn, a treating physician said: "I was shocked to  discover how many AIDS organisations pay their executives excessive salaries...At a time when direct services and medically necessary care is being curtailed many AIDS charity executives have put lining their own pockets above saving many lives." Salaries and other financial information about AIDS organisations nationwide have been posted on the World Wide Web by a San Francisco advocacy group, the Accountability Project. see The Blade, Toledo, Ohio 7 May 1998
