Paying them would imply something above and beyond the expenses to travel to the location, which is not what appears to be the purpose for this fund.

I wonder why they listed the compensation prior to travel and didn't state it would be capped at this amount. I have taken business trips in which travel expenses are paid and never have been told how much I will be paid prior to turning in my expenses. I'd imagine $2,000 for a group of 6 to travel from St Louis to Feguson seems about right for "travel expenses".

Folks see what they want to see and close their eyes to the things they do not.
