WRAL looks into BAF expenses at the request of "fans"

From the CB (edited by Clay News Service):
The BAF was mentioned on WRAL-TV Raleigh's 6 o'clock newscast. Internet fans questioning were questioning the validity of BAF tax forms and requested that WRAL investigate. The fans contend that expenses were too high and benefit to the charity was too low. WRAL had an auditor review tax returns and they interviewed Diane. Clay's spokesman said he is too busy to comment at this time.

An independent auditor found 85% went to services which is very good.

Bottom line: WRAL found no irregularities and said that the money being used for charitable endeavors was about 85% well in line with other non-profit organizations.

Diane stated that she was frustrated because they were trying to do good and "all we get is complaints."

Diane was quoted as saying that expenses were high because it is a start up nonprofit and some of the funds were spent to create public awareness. The WRAL reporter said that the expense of the Galas was a source of contention and Diane said that they don't make much money but were also used to create public awareness.

The reporter also mentioned the cost of training and setting up the Project Gonzo camps in NC and Missouri.

So I guess nobody took you know who up on her offer to pay thousands of dollars to disrupt the Florida Gala so she decided to get the foundation this way.

Unbelievable.
