Charity Begins at Home?
A former United Way executive whose obsession for show horses led her to steal more than $2 million from the charity was sentenced Monday to four years in prison.

Jacquelyn Allen-MacGregor also was ordered to serve three years of supervised release following her imprisonment and to pay $2.08 million dollars in restitution to the Capital Area United Way.

Are big charities are more effective than smaller ones? Even without embezzlement, the leaders of big charities make six figure salaries. Do big charities raise enough money to make up for their overhead or are they only taking more money away from local charities? If the overall goal is to help the needy, does a big charity do enough to make up for its shortcomings?
