Veterans charity and fundraising groups fined $40,000 by Oregon Attorney General
Attorney General John Kroger has announced that a traveling group that sells commemorative medals to Oregon veterans, as well as raising money to honor veterans has agreed to a $40,000 fine for what Kroger contends was an ongoing telemarketing campaign to pay 20% of the proceeds to the group that ran the traveling “thousand flags exhibit” and 80% to the fundraisers. The group made two recent stops on the Oregon Coast; one last year in South Beach, another just recently in Lincoln City.
