Why is he so quiet during the board meetings when the discussions get heated about NOT having any finance reports and receipts?

Have they seen the finances that the 4 can't, see? 2. Have they seen what the actual Deficit is? 3. Ask Stan and Andrew, do they have access to "My Viewpoint" to see the receipts and the financials or, was "My Viewpoint" access taken away from just the 4 trustees? 4. If they aren't getting the reports or financials, WHY aren't they concerned about not getting finance reports, receipts or maybe...,they are getting the reports? 5. Ask Stan Brown, the finance Chair, does he have any comments, and does he request for any financial reports, receipts? 6. Has anyone explained why My Viewpoint was taken away? Is someone/anyone on the record? 7. Ask Stan and Andrew why they don't attend the Special Board meetings? 8. Ask Trustees Stanley Brown & Andrew Holmes, why so SILENT during the heated exchanges?
