I don't think employees of not-for-profits should be allowed to sit on government bodies that fund them, if that is indeed legal now. There is a new interest in these type of arrangements because the political class and the connected have been known to use them to keep each other in high-paying jobs that they would never have in a competitive market. I agree, when you get donations and tax breaks the public has an interest in how you keep the books, or maybe you don't keep books at all which seems to be the case here. Don't they employ anyone who knows how to count money? |
