As far as Spitzer, I expect many people to have different opinions and tastes. That's why Baskin-Robbins has all those flavors, LOL.

Regarding the not for profit and nonprofit aspect, I've heard too many people debate nonprofit, not for profit, quasi-nonprofit, quasi this, that, and so on. Professionally, and personally, I have much involvement in the (let's just call it) nonprofit world.

I wouldn't debate the issue, as in this forum it's a fallacious arguement. However, not for profit and nonprofit -- both are a tax status, they are not a management style.

Agreed. I also have much involvement in that not-for-profit/non-profit world. However we are an independent contractor that makes our profit on making these non-profits/not-for-profits capital gain. If we don't enable them to increase capital, we don't make our income. Many sides of the die in the non-profit/not-for-profit world. It truely is an issue that, I feel, should be debated in the case of NYRA and NYS, but perhaps not in this discussion in this thread, it seems complicated and agressive enough...
