ever since the I exposed the Santa Barbara County Taxpayer Association strange and shady operations and politically incestuous relationship with the News-Press and volunteers exposed the mismanagement of the Botanical Gardens, non profits have been under scrutiny...and rightly so..some are good but some are bad or unnecessary..we got Heal the Bay, Heal the Ocean and Surfrider all collecting big bucks from the gullible public, but I'm not sure exactly what they all do that municipalities already do with my tax dollars!here's some interesting figures of non-profits, ...these guys are raking in the money and they don't have to pay taxes! Churches don't pay and their charities don't pay..double dippers! There's more where this came from..this is the tip of the iceburg...why aren't these organizations taxed..what an obvious scam some of these are...no wonder people are scrambling to start non profits! EASY MONEY and NO TAXES!! what irks me is these people ask for money from city councils, prey on emotions and the council falls for it...why give my tax money to Peoples' Self Help Housing when they are worth 50 million dollars!! What a rip!!!

I see my "Thousand Points of Light" legislation is working out well to do it's part to destroy good representational government.
The thing about taxpayer associations (TPAs) is that they have convinced taxpayers (who can't balance a checkbook) that there is a free lunch and no one should have to pay for anything, ever, by tax, fee or levy. Then the TPAs never explain how roads, schools, parks, essential social services, etc are to be paid for, maintained and rebuilt. I recall one exception where a tax was recommended by our local TPA.
The thing about non-profits is that they usurp the role of government. What's worse, if you check the property tax roles, many non-profits often pay little if any property tax, essentially taking acres and acres off the property tax roles. Supposedly non-profits are providing services and are reportedly cheaper than "government" programs and services. But really there are no tests for non-profits to prove their worth or value to their host communities. Many non-profits look after only their own. Upscale retirement communities are probably the best example of tax dodges for seniors, often wealthy out-of-towners, who get great advantages and services at the expense of their host communities.
