Safetee, that sounds like an excellent idea. Several people have commented to me that there are nearly no written records for anything in this project. I think at one point the late Paul Joyce (3rd Rail) wrote to them to ask about how certain funds were being used, I don't recall that he ever got any answer.
Which leaves us with the public record 990 forms. I reviewed the 2013 form (latest year filed) some more and it is very interesting. In 2012 the group had contributions and donations of $91,495 (Page 6, Section A, Line 1D). In 2013 contributions and donations dropped to $440 (Same reference, Line 1E). That is a 99.5% drop in just one year. I am wondering how a group with an ongoing fund raising effort suffers a 99.5% decline in contributions in just one years time.
