AI6YR Ben"Do not poo" special message on the #BurningMan radio station. Porta potty conditions "can't be mentioned on the air". #mud #disaster
Clip from the Burning Man radio station about not going poo, and porta potties being "backed up". And also "finding a container and peeing in it instead" 😟
KellyAnn Romanych (she/her)@ai6yr I did not know burning man was a nonprofit. I checked their last 990 (2021). Quite a few staffers are 6 figures. ED was north of 325K. https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/452638273

Stacey Campbell@kellyromanych @ai6yr I went in 1997, and that was a financial disaster. The Washoe County Sheriff took the entire "gate". I suspect they were under considerable pressure after that to be more professional with their finances. It's basically unrecognizable these days compared to then. (1998 was the last year I went.)

@stacey_campbell @ai6yr wow, that must have been an experience for sure. Nonprofit 990s do add more transparency.
