Not necessarily, I don't mind decent salaries being paid - nor
director's fees/expenses... though I believe a "committee" type
structure will never be too efficient at spending money.

That said, the expenditure increases in a year of 5% inflation
don't sound that bad to me...

I'm not sure I understand what you mean?

They're not "in the red", they have $4.4m, and as a non-profit,
aren't supposed to make money.  I'd be complaining if they did
- they might me tempted to spend it on something silly.

Cheers,
