Nearly all such bodies in every level of governance nationwide are voluntary and without compensation. They might get reimbursements for travel or food expenses for days they are meeting but more than that is highly unlikely.

Why do you believe the employees aren't the actual commissioners?Those are the staff members not the commissioners themselves. I imagine those who serve on the commission are unpaid volunteers.
Why do you believe the employees aren't the actual commissioners?
That's a pretty good reason, but you know it's not gonna change his mind.The Commission of Fine Arts is composed of seven members with expertise in the arts. Appointed by the President, Commission members serve four-year terms without compensation.Who We Are | Commission of Fine Arts

Because I actually have some real world knowledge about how such things work.Why do you believe the employees aren't the actual commissioners?
BTW, it wouldn't be any better to pay 11 employees in addition to compensating the commissioners.
But, Trump apparently fired all of them, so that's good.

Less about changing minds, more about how it took all of 3 minutes to find the answer. An internet connection and a baseline level of curiosity would lead you to an actual answer. Evidence that Zen isn't looking for answers, he's looking for engagement.
The volunteers appear to be separate from the "staff", who were making over $100k per year.Because I actually have some real world knowledge about how such things work.
And why do you think it is "good" that Trump fired the volunteers? He didnt save a penny. He likely just ensured that whatever money is being spent is entirely wasted because he will install completely inept people to guide the staff.
Yes. Thats what I said from the beginning. And it isnt the staff that was fired. It was the Commisioners. The volunteers.The volunteers appear to be separate from the "staff", who were making over $100k per year.

Well then, that's just dumb. Clearly the firing was about not having people questioning his decisions.Yes. Thats what I said from the beginning. And it isnt the staff that was fired. It was the Commisioners. The volunteers.
Monuments don’t guarantee squat. There are many examples of monuments to dictators have been destroyed.
