A clarification. In my public comments last night, not once did I say ‘SPARK’. Although folks may imply that I was speaking about SPARK, I was speaking about non-profits in general. That when folks ask for audited financial statements from a non-profit (and it refuses), and folks ask for financial statements from city hall (they don’t have them and so they don’t look at them)….

…. then the public should know that the documents are available to the public via the Michigan AG office. Just ask them. I did, and I didn’t need a FOIA request to do it.

Also, to non-profits in general… if you want to be true leaders and follow good corporate governance — if I can get the documents from the Michigan AG office, then you should offer them as well. This is Michigan and that is the right thing to do.
