Who is going to pay for the Gay News in the Shepherd Express?

Another question pops up concerning the Visioning Project and the Shepherd Express. Precisely who is going to cover the costs of this project? Is it the Cream City Foundation? If so why haven't they made this decision public? Aren't they supposed to let the public know ahead of time before they decided to begin this project? If it isn't then who is? Why haven't they divulged this information?

And here are some more.

1. Who started the Visioning Project and Why?
   
2. Who did this person approach to join this project? And Why?
   
3. Why don't they take minuets?
   
4. Why is there such an underhanded attempt at non-disclosure?
   
5. Who was the one appointed to contact the Shepherd Express and negotiate a contract with them? Who precisely are they claiming to represent and who gave them the authority to do so? Why wasn't anybody told about it?
   
6. Most importantly, where is the money coming from?

I think that these are very important questions that need to be answered and not swept under the table the way many of the problems that have surfaced within our community, like the money problems with Pride Fest had, several directors suddenly resigning if my memory serves me right.

Why do so many people not know about this organization which is supposedly acting in our best interest? If they are, why haven't they ever asked for our input?

I'll tell you what, I'm going to demand an independent audit because I want to know where all the money is going and why they are keeping everything secret. Besides, who gave them the authority to represent us? I sure didn't. Did you?
