Here’s the Bay Area Council earnings, assets, & chief officer compensation from their 2024 990, which is wild. Here’s hoping that the Libby Schaaf era of the org will be better than the Jim Wunderman era, but I’m not counting on it.

Shades of the Bay Area Council’s campaign against the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge trail which also involved 1000s of form emails from “community members”. How many of these were faked too? The Bay Conservation & Development Commission didn’t ask & violated their charter to approve the closure.
