The salary paid to a Washington lobbyist whose nonprofit social-service group is the subject of concerns because of its management is under scrutiny by the Washington city government, according to The Washington Post.

The city requested this month that two group homes for developmentally disabled people run by Individual Development be put into receivership and that all referrals to the organization’s 11 facilities cease. The organization has paid lobbyist David W. Wilmot as much as $300,000 in one year for his work there, according to Internal Revenue Service records cited in the article. In addition, he has received a $300,000 loan from the nonprofit group, the Post reports.

Mr. Wilmot, who has been at the group’s helm for a decade, defended his salary and the charity’s work in an interview with The Post, pointing out the intensive care many of the organization’s clients require, and said he did not take a salary in his first couple of years leading the charity.
