Looks like the entire staff of city employees has their hands out waiting for the next freebee, kinda like our homeless. Maybe the city's doing a study on the homeless? Hey, that's the ticket!

[sic] form for values-based leadership and ideas." The Aspen Institute is a “global nonprofit organization.” But is it a 501(c)3 charity?<br /><br />There are many kinds of nonprofits. In order to get around the gift travel law, according to the FPPC, ‘Certain Travel from a Government Agency or 501(c)(3). Travel payments provided to the official by any state, local, or federal government agency as part of the official’s employment with that agency or provided to the official by a bona fide non-profit, tax-exempt (501(c)(3)) entity for which the official provides equal or greater consideration. (Section 82030(b)(2).) Any person who claims to have provided consideration has the burden of proving that the consideration received is of equal or greater value.”<br />Eye on Elk Grovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02912443616239693675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-693256921060044086.post-71435265178844068792023-04-04T16:01:07.170-07:002023-04-04T16:01:07.170-07:00Amsterdam is a city filled with temptations.
