I personally feel that leftists would be better served trying to take seats on the common council. There’s even less turnout there, and they technically have more power than the mayor as a body. When it looked like she had a chance to become mayor the common council drafted legislation to strip the office of the mayor of most of its powers. Running for mayor should happen after leftists get enough seats on the council to block any such legislation from getting passed.
Hey now, the Mayor’s role is to rubber stamp tax breaks and sweetheart deals for incredibly rich, and racist real estate moguls. Sure, an entire neighborhood of the city smells like a sewer each time it rains, the roads are completely falling apart, there’s an under-reported lead crisis due ancient infrastructure and slumlords, and the water authority was privatized and handed over to the french. All in a city where 20% of households cannot afford a car, and live in an incredibly car dependent area with unreliable bus service. But all these real-estate developers are happy so it’s all good right?
How’s the star gazing there? I got excited until I saw it’s at the ass end of long island.
No. The Treasury is the one who mails the letters. Basically the non-profit gets notified that they’re losing tax-exempt status by mail. They then have 90 days to convince they Treasury Secretary that they are not in fact terrorists.
It’s a pretty short, and your link has a copy of the text. It looks like the Secretary (of the Treasury?) is given the power to terminate the non-profit status of any organization. The only requirements are to mail a letter to said organization stating that the Secretary think y’all are terrorists. The organization is given 90 days to convince the Secretary that they aren’t terrorists, otherwise non-profit designation is terminated. An extra-judicial appeals process through the (massively underfunded) IRS is defined. The last section basically states that terrorist designation is still appealable through judicial system. Fuzzier on the implications of this last section. I’m not trained as a lawyer, so take all this with a massive grain of salt.
Cheney successfully stole an election. My man just doesn’t like losers.
