Source excerpt
The Burning Man Project is again suing the federal government, this time to prevent the release of its financial records to a Pershing County official who believes the county deserves more money from the Burning Man nonprofit.
The nonprofit is suing the Bureau of Land Management, which oversees the event's security and issues its permit, as well as the agency's deputy director, Holly Vinall.
The Project is arguing that the BLM is seeking to illegally release confidential records, including Burning Man's daily internal event reports and also a detailed record of the organization's gross revenue.
