This page of the OV website was set up Chance doing the best he could but to my knowledge the information statement has not been consented by the general assembly. I believe this should be rewritten to state that any funds spent will be consented through the general assembly via the proposal process or something to that effect. We should list examples as shown below.
Here is the text as well you can tap on the link below:
Information

cover operating expenses. We're an autonomous group of full time
activists doing support work for the people of the OV General Assembly
as well as occupations in other cities. For the sake of transparency,
our costs are currently planned to include:
- cell phone service
- media team
- occupy news show
- travel expenses
- forming a non-profit
- purchasing internet domains
- other operating expenses
We'll email donors through wepay with details on how funds are spent.
