Bottom line, this proposed dramatic legislation will be a detriment to our Charitable giving in our Community, which is a very disadvantaged area of western Virginia. It couldn't come at a worse time than after the effects of 2 years of Covid and now the inflation. I've read the many comments and agree with virtually all the cases being made so I won't repeat them here.

But I do suggest you send your business reps out to our lodge in Dublin, Va  so you can look at our books and actually project the effects  this legislation would have on our lodge. If you don't do that, you never understand the real disastrous effect you will have on our Community and of course our Lodge.
