[quote="anon-opr0"]The link posted a couple pages back just goes to a site that summarizes public 990 data. Even the full 990 doesn't come close to transparently showing the budget of the Fire Company. It also only goes through 2019, so it's almost 3 years old, way before the new car incident. But what is does show is the fire company routinely collects contributions in excess of its costs. It says that the Township "only" provides 70% of its funding, but since it operated with a 24% excess revenue margin that means the township contributed more than 100% of the costs needed for it to operate, on top of typically paying for its equipment. Seems like this $1 million they claim the Township Committee wants to get its hands on has been built by hoarding tax dollars and donations and interest on them over time. It's nice to have a fund for rainy days, so no problem. But let's not pretend tax dollars aren't want make it possible to keep the lights or or what helped build the assets in the first place. If the Fire Company says they are open book and transparent, why not prove it by releasing their full line item budgets?[/quote]
