re: Woman run over by float during Nyx and killed on parade route in NOLA

Hurr durr you don’t know how charities work. They all see 30% increases in salaries year over year.

Endymion’s expenses exceed their revenue and it’s a part-time gig for their officers. IJS it’s not an apples-to-apples comparison.

Julie made Nyx her full time job and dedicates herself to growing the organization and the footprint on the city.

Also it’s not y’all’s money so why do y’all care what we do with ours?

Go read that 990. You can see where the expenses are going. Hint. It ain’t going to charities and scholarships.

Iris - Captain paid $130k, Chair paid $90k

Wow. What do these two actually do?

Iris has 220k in Officer pay but have a badly made Wordpress site. How amazing.

I don’t know the Iris parade but for $220k in salary they better be sponsoring and fundraising a ton of crap in the city besides lining up a parade. Apparently the going rate for that is 70k

That one is odd.

They have almost no other expenses outside of the actual parade day stuff.

Out of $2.3M in expenses, they paid $31k in insurance, $3k in office expenses, and $40k on accounting fees.

The remaining $2M on what looks like the parade (floats, costumes, etc.).

Me too with DiamondDog today. Earlier he was just figuring out that Nola parade floats aren't decorated by a bunch of baws on a weekend by putting up pretty paper and poster board painted signs on a rusty trailer. He probably also thought the line up process involved Frankie dropping his peeps off at a waiting group of floats in the Piggly Wiggly parking lot.

Now he's a damn investigative reporter helping let the world know how it all really works and it's a big con game.

Well it's listed as a 501c non profit so tax payers might care if they are skirting the system

She/he gone.
