Met Council CEO William E. Rapfogel [left] greeting President Bush as he disembarks Air Force One.

New York City - Some politically connected nonprofits continue to get a good deal of money in City Council-distributed member items.

a vigorous discussion ensued about the size of the salary earned by executive director William Rapfogel of the not-for-profit Metropolitan Council on Jewish Poverty, which got $500,000 in member items this year.

For the record: he makes a lot of money by non-profit-world standards, but not quite as much as some commenters guessed.

According to Rapfogel, who I talked to on the phone just now, his current salary is $379,000, which squares with the number in the group’s 2005-2006 tax filing, the most recent one available online.
