Did you read the whole article?

This is a local story for me. I know Luther Mack; a $1,000,000 fine for him is very painful. He takes money very seriously. Luther Mack is very plugged into the system. He is on the State boxing commission and a dozen other State and charitable organization boards etc. He is the token black guy in Nevada politics. Good speaker and has paid lots of money to various causes to be accepted into the system. Sad really.

There clearly has been a deal struck. His company will be on probation and three of his senior people are facing JAIL TIME as well as fines to the tune of $250,000. It is clear the Government chose them to make an example out of - rightfully so. About 28 of the illegals were deported and about 20 more are in the process of hearings court etc. The day the raids happened thousands - yes thousands of Hispanics were fleeing businesses of all types when the text messages started flowing. It was hysterical. Many left stores and just walked away. Some came back the next day expecting their jobs were still good. Lots were fired for leaving their post. Many were not.

My guess is that the franchise owner will pay the fine.

Maybe. But the more important point is... where did the franchise owner get the money?

Either of you ever own a business? Where does the money to make payroll, pay state and federal taxes, buy equipment and supplies, pay the rent and etc. come from?

Answer: same place the $1,000,000 is gonna come from.
Answer: same place ALL the business's revenue come from.

That's why I said there should be no fines.

Good to see poor illegals have the latest in technology.
