PAL Tax Return Revealed For World To See

The recent “06880” fireworks over Westport’s fireworks included — among other things — assertions that the books of sponsoring agency PAL should be open and examined by all.

Ask, and ye shall receive.

An “06880” reader who works in the non-profit field sent along a link to the IRS Form 990 return from 2008 — the most recent available.

Before conspiracy theorists start squawking, please note:  The reader explains it is standard in the non-profit world for completion and publication of the 990 to lag 12-18 months behind the current fiscal year.

Full disclosure:  The reader calls himself someone who is “very fond of the PAL Compo fireworks.”  It was the site of his “very first, very serious makeout session” back in 19xx.
