It's not just bathrooms that are off limits. For many of them,
depending on the legal form of their organization, neither the public
nor the municipality hiring them has any right to see their books or
internal affairs. There was a recent case where the top two officials
of a volunteer fire department suddenly resigned with no official
explanation, but with a hint of financial impropriety. Yet, this same
department regularly solicits the public for contributions. It tries
to combine the best (for it) aspects of a privately owned corporation
and of a public charity. To be fair to it, it does fight fires
competently.
