I dont understand why NW's aren't 501 3 c's?
If I remember correctly from a long time ago - the others were eliminated so the special interest groups like the "Friends of the Hilo Golf Course" would not have access to discretionary funds.... but that may have been at a time when our council was
corrupt.
