One huge problem is that these organizations are not transparent.  They are secretive.  The for profits (like CIRI and ARSC and Doyon) guard their financials closely.  The non profits do the same.  All the non profits have to do is release their tax returns - which show very little beyond the top salaries.  The for profits don't even have to do this.  (They release general annual reports but these only go to shareholders who are warned not to release copies.) In this lawsuit, both sides (SCF and ANTHC) filed a stipulation to keep most of the documents confidential.  These board members and executives know EXACTLY what they are doing. They have been acting like this for many years. They have learned that they can get away with it. And for some baffling reason, there is "group think" that they all deserve to make these massive salaries and benefits. It is shameful. Take a look at the houses on the hillside in Anchorage.  Guess who lives there? And then take a look at Bean's Cafe.
