Actually it's not, but you go on thinking that it is. Wouldn't want to challenge your superior, big city, opinions/truths.

At least I have an opinion and prefer not to prop up the status quo...............

Sorry that the truth hurts so much.

The large schools, much like the majority of the p/p's, enjoy having their cake and eating it too.

Right.

Federal Deficit Hit $984 Billion Last Year—a Nearly 50 Percent Increase Since Trump Took Office. In three years in office, Trump has added more to the national debt than President George W. Bush did in his entire two terms. : https://reason.com/2019/10/25/federal-deficit-hit-984-billion-last-year-a-nearly-50-percent-increase-since-trump-took-office/ Yep, uni-party to the max. Spending the country into oblivion, leaving disaster for our children and grandchildren. And I thought Mr. Trump was going to put a stop to this?

If you say so Lou, if you say so.

Agreed. That has been the modus operandi of the Catholic church for decades, probably even centuries. Why are men protected wile women are vilified?

Which tells me that maybe, just maybe, we have too many federal crimes on the books in the first place. Perhaps congress should investigate that. But who am I kidding...................... I guess another thing that irks me about this behavior is that prosecutors are effectively holding back charges to use as bargaining chips. Shouldn't all charges be presented at the same time?

Federal Prosecutors Are Punishing Actor Lori Loughlin for Exercising Her Right To Defend Herself: https://reason.com/2019/10/24/federal-prosecutors-are-punishing-actor-lori-loughlin-for-exercising-her-right-to-defend-herself/ Plea deals aren’t about mercy these days. They’re about intimidating defendants into giving up the right to a trial. Prosecutors are only now insisting on holding the defendants "fully accountable" because these parents are insisting on exercising their constitutional right to a fair trial. Loughlin and the other defendants would not have received these additional charges if they'd accepted plea deals. One of the parents told the judge Monday that the Justice Department told them it would not seek any further punishment if the parent accepted the deal. This behavior by federal prosecutors is both common and a frustrating subversion of the criminal justice process. Despite our constitutional right to a trial, a full 97 percent of all criminal cases are resolved with plea deals, according to the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (NACDL). And when you look at what's happening with Loughlin, it's easy to see why. Actor Felicity Huffman pleaded guilty to mail fraud and was sentenced to 14 days in prison, a year of supervised release, 250 hours of community service, and a $30,000 fine. By adding charges against Loughlin (and other parents) of conspiracy to commit bribery and money laundering, prosecutors are adding months and even years of additional prison time in the event the parents are convicted. The U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Massachusetts boasts that these new charges carry prison sentences of up to 25 years. There is absolutely no way any of these people will receive sentences that harsh, but it's abundantly clear that the prosecutors want to punish them not just for the offenses they are alleged to have committed, but also for insisting on going to trial. What's more, the new indictments include asset forfeiture requests should the defendants be convicted. The NACDL doesn't publicly comment on specific cases, but last year the organization published a report about this trend, which it and other criminal justice reform groups have long called "the Trial Penalty." The NACDL report warns that Americans are essentially losing their Sixth Amendment right to a trial because of the massive charging disparity between the offenses prosecutors offer in a plea deal and the offenses they take to trial. The report notes that "the mere decision to charge triggers a domino effect making a guilty plea the only rational choice in most cases. And as trials and hearings decline, so too does government accountability. Government mistakes and misconduct are rarely uncovered, or are simply resolved in a more favorable plea bargain." Studies of exonerations have determined that hundreds of people who serve prison time for crimes that it later turns out they didn't commit had pleaded guilty in the hopes of less punishment. What's happening to Loughlin and these other parents happens to hundreds of poorer, less connected defendants every day across the country. But we should be careful not to see it as karmic "balance" that a small group of wealthy, privileged parents is now getting railroaded by the system. It's not more "fair" when prosecutorial overreach affects rich people. It is, however, an excellent opportunity to talk about the fact that our criminal justice system punishes defendants not just for breaking the law, but also for exercising their constitutional rights. I wonder if this kind of despicable, lazy behavior by federal prosecutors can somehow be ruled unconstitutional by the SCOTUS, and stopped.

I have to buy groceries this week. Sorry.

Ahh, nothing like a government bureaucracy to makes things confusing. Anyway I assume then you are talking about this?: http://www.nevadatreasurer.gov/uploadedFiles/nevadatreasurergov/content/GGMS/Forms/Doc-FactSheet.pdf

And what exactly is your relationship to them?
