[Vision2020] Parking Survey Under Way and other NSA Issues

[J Ford]

Their buildings and business do NOT claim non-profit status, they are NOT in 
the CBD and they PAY THEIR FAIR SHARE in taxes and donations to the 
community.

When's the last time you heard of NSA  doing anything that promotes the 
community, gives to the community (outside its OWN community, that is) or 
pays any kind of property/state sales tax?
