The FCC has released its latest operating budget listing over

The ARRL never reveals its budget plans to the public,
despite all its Believers' claims that it is handled in a
"democratic fashion"...

Where is it mandated that the ARRL reveal its budget plan?

The League is governed by an elected board of directors who live all
over the United States. Those directors are elected by League members
from their geographical area.

...AS IF it were an arm of the guvmint.

I don't know of anyone saying that except for you.

The best one can hope for is someone else getting copies
of its IRS Returns and publicizes those. Otherwise we
"common folk" would never know its a multi-million dollar
"non-profit" organization.

The League must submit all kinds of paperwork to government. If
government finds a problem, do you think it will sweep it under the rug,
or will it address the problem? How are you involved? You aren't an
ARRL member. You have no standing in the ARRL. You have no vote in
ARRL matters. If you became an Associate Member, you'd have no vote for
elected positions. An amateur radio license is required for full,
voting membership.
