“Form 990 is reviewed by the administrator prior to filing the return. The return will then be forwarded to the members of the governing body for their review. If changes to the return are deemed necessary after this review then an amended return will be filed.”
“Potential conflicts of interest are discussed at regular board meetings. If it is believed that a potential conflict of interest exists, it is examined by independent board members to determine if such a conflict does indeed exist. If a conflict of interest is deemed to exist the conflicted member is informed of the conflict and does not participate in any related discussions or votes regarding approval of any transactions pertaining to the party/organization with whom they have a conflict of interest.”
“Comparable salaries are obtained from similar organizations and presented to the board for discussion. The board then makes the final decision regarding the amount and nature of compensation to be paid.”
“This key employee was hired for his expertise that was necessary for the blue collar solar and zero regrets emissions policy programs. With the completion of these two programs his employment has been terminated. The key employee was a high income consultant in the energy sector. The board determined his salary considering this and by comparison to similar staffers in republican main street (primary reliance), the energy foundation and other 501(c)(4) organizations. Taken into account were combined salaries of individuals who were employed by multiple related entities.”

| IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc | 0 | ZERO EMISSIONS ENERGY TAX POLICY: THIS IS OUR PRIMARY FOCUS. THE CAMPAIGN TO COMBAT CLIMATE CHANGE IS FOCUSED ON A CARBON TAX. WE DO NOT BELIEVE A CARBON TAX IS FEASIBLE IN THE CURRENT PARTISAN STATE OF AFFAIRS. THROUGHOUT 2016 AND 2017, WE WORKED WITH EXPERTS TO DEVELOP A NEW APPROACH TO ESTABLISH A PRICE SIGNAL FOR UNWATED EMISSIONS FROM THE ELECTRICITY SECTOR. WE CALL THIS ZERO EMISSIONS. INSTEAD OF ADDING TAXES TO THE COST OF ELECTRICITY FROM FOSSIL FUELS, WE RECOMMEND REMOVING TAXES FROM CLEAN ENERGY. THIS POLICY, IF ENACTED, WILL RESULT IN A $3.5 TAX CUT, $5.5 BILLION IN LOWER ELECTRICITY BILLS, ACCELERATED REDUCTION IN HARMFUL EMISSIONS FROM ELECTRICY GENERATION, AND ELIMINATION OF SCORES OF EXISTING INCENTIVES WHICH IT REPLACES.THE HOUSE APPROPRIATIONS COMMITTEE SENT A REQUEST TO THE DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY TO COMPLETE A NUMBER OF REPORTS ON THIS PROPOSAL. WE EXPECT THE REPORTS TO BE COMPLETED BY FALL 2018. |
