About how much taxes they were paying as a result. There is a difference between those two things and you can pretty well short they are. Then, the third thing is the was another approach to this in los angeles , which is they have an exemption from nonprofits from receiving funding from state local or federalbut then who do not receive who do not make any payments for those services. They are exempt under las expenditure license. So, there are number of options you can look at. I am just suggesting had this discussion with the nonprofits know that your research will tell him options they might not have thought of and help you move forward. Thank you. Good evening.

If we want more people of color, you book more people of color. You want more women, your book more women. Kind of like that. It gets mixed up a little bit.

Making their final arguments before the Iowa Caucuses, the republican president ial candidates took to the stage in des moines last night but attention was on the one person who was not there, welcome to your world this morning, im stephanie sy. And im delve and we are three days away from the first contest in the election itself and trying hard to focus on issues but as al jazeera tells us their attention kept turning back to the frontrunner. Reporter im an maniac and everyone on this stage is stupid, fat and ugly and ben you are a terrible surgeon. Now that weve gotten the donald trump portion out of the way. The big elephant wasnt in the room but it didnt stop them from taking shots at the missing frontrunner. I miss donald trump and he was a frontrunner and had a loving relationship and in between the tweets i kind of miss him and wish he were here.
