Your TRANSDEF website doesn't say who your BOD members are or how many paid staff you have and exactly where the donated funds go? to lawyers? to PR people for brochures? I ask this because I have found that organizations who use the magic environment/sustainable words are not always quite what they seem. The Coalition for a Sustainable Delta is a good example---it is funded heavily by the Resnicks who are big investors from Beverly Hills and own such things as the Franklin Mint, Teleflora, Fuji water, and oh yes, Paramount Farms which needs all that water from the delta. I prefer transparency.
Thanks.
