Someone asked if Richard Gage (head of Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth - AE911) has a profit motive for promoting one story over another. I remembered that the AE991 990 forms had listed his compensation, so I went to look it up. The most recent filing on Guidestar is for the 2015 tax year.

I was surprised that it was listed as 0, even though he was working for 80 hours a week. as I remembered it being higher. I looked at the previous year, 2014:

Sure enough $70,835, wh
This amount is also listed in the 2014 990 on pages 8 and 10:

So we'd expect that line to also be zero on the 2015 form? But it isn't:

Of course there's nothing wrong with the president of a non-profit taking a salary. However it would seem like this should be made clear. In 2015 there was $234,774 in "Salaries and other compensation", and yet no indication of where this was going.
Presumably Gage is at least being paid $85K, but why is this no longer being reported? Has the tax code changed?
