Message: [QUOTE="Townie72, post: 3060951, member: 780"] NJCuse97; On earmarked donations to charities (and maybe even Universities) you are saying better what I was trying to say. I get why the charity does not want anyone "voting on the distribution of funds". But the fundamental deceit is that they allow people to specify particular beneficiaries knowing it doesn't work the way the donor thinks it does. Having grown up in a university dominated town, I really do get the impact of property tax abatements on local taxes. In my youth that was a hot button issue between the University community and the non-University "townies" as the university grew and sometimes caused properties to be removed from the tax rolls when they took them over.
