"Tax dollars were saved from revenue generated. Methods: First, the Directors set the example of volunteer service and as such receive no pay or reimbursement from the District." (emphasis added)
The Directors use their taxpayer-paid website to tell us they receive no reimbursement.
Then the Directors turn around and receive reimbursements for expenses, including bits of string, for a total of $639.50 paid to Directors, out of District funds in the 2008/2009 fiscal year.
So- do the Directors "Set the Example of Volunteer Service"? as they describe on their own website?
You decide. Then, let them know. They are representing you.
They will be hosting some sort of Chamber Open House on Thursday the 21st at their office. They also have a board meeting, open to the public, at 7:00 PM on Wednesday the 27th of January. Be sure to go!
This could be why their Audit Report indicates that their accounting methods leave something to be desired and perhaps they should change their ways. There was a letter from the audit company to the WECRD dated December 15, 2009. Nobody can seem to obtain a copy of that. Makes a guy wonder what is in that letter that teh WECRD does not want the public to see. I thought public information was public information. Silly me.
ReplyDeleteIf this is setting the example, we have a problem. How did they lay low for so long with nobody saying a word? Are we even sure their elections have been in compliance?
ReplyDeleteIt is pretty interesting how they can sit on all that money for so long and do nothing with it. Another General Accounting black hole I guess.
