Today was one of those days where you don't get much done. An hour commute into work, an hour on the call, a nine and a half hour shift, and fortunately a shorter commute home--less traffic at night. I reviewed e-mails this morning before I left and I have been researching the NPO that I want to contact next tonight. It is a complex organization made up of several diverse special interest groups united under the umbrella of a large core group. I want to be sure that I am well versed on the purpose and mission of each one of these small groups and what their relationship is to the large group.
I have not finished my research on this but so far I have found that the tax payers passed a special referendum in the last election which calls for a special tax which would benefit some members of this group. At this point, no one knows how much money this will be but they do know it will have to be shared with many other NPOs in the state. The fear right now is that the Governor, looking for places to cut spending, may use this special tax which will benefit some of the group, as an excuse to take away all the money the whole group is getting now.
As you can see, I have a lot more research to do on this one. Lucky for me, I have several small NPOs which I have already researched and whom I can contact right away.
Many blessings to all,
Tom
P.S. Just thought you'd like to know, we are looking at -30 again tomorrow.

Tom,
Great efforts on your research of the NPO's and your trip to the legislative briefing. It's an eye-opening education for all of us. Thank you for thinking of it, and for taking the steps you are taking. Stay warm this weekend!
Wow!I have looked into the websites too briefly. After hearing you on the call the other day I started getting further into the research. Found lots of stuff on tax cuts,funding,and other stuff that pertains to non-profits. Thanks,we really learn allot from each other, which makes us to able to make a difference with a much bigger impact.
Great job!
