As for the taxpaying aspect, I suggest you repair to an institution willing to explain the legal and real aspects of a "non profit" status.
You know, I've been a Freeper for a long time, and I've seen the tidal shifts in opinion amongst the membership. But I don't think I've ever been called out by someone so completely bereft of any pertinent knowledge in the history of FR threads. I used to learn from people here; now I have to call out imbeciles like you.
Hmm ~ I’ve been here since 1996. You’re just a newbie and what a mouth eh!
It is highly unlikely that the nonprofit status of an institution IN DC is different than that of such an entity in Virginia.
There simply hasn't been all that much time to pass for such basic legal understandings (and the laws associated with them) to diverge to any great degree.
Which is to say I'm more than familiar with non-profit organizations in Virginia, in DC and as understood by federal agencies that have to be concerned with such matters (IRS and USPS).
So, what is it you want to know? Not that any nonprofit automatically gets a tax break in DC, but WHC has been around for a very long time ~ even sits atop land I'd suspect a title review would show is LEASED for some ridiculously low sum from the US government.
Over the years the tax depletion engendered by acquisition of exemptions from property tax by nonprofit organizations located in DC has been a hot topic.
Everyone who's lived here more than 20 years would understand the question.
I fear I have been converted to the point of view that in DC none but religious institutions should be exempt from taxation. All the other nonprofits gain "value" from the address and siting and should be taxed just as if they were "for profit" stock corporations.
Suffice it to say, regarding going to WHC for service, we ain't gonna' do it again ~ no how, no way, and management there was remarkably unresponsive.
BTW, I am unaware of any anti-nepotism law that reaches out to private corporations. Maybe you are aware of one. I simply think it interferes with the provision of service to the paying customers more often than it helps in that provision.
My argument was that a take over by a private for-profit company would take form rapidly with the immediate termination of managers with personal relationships with other managers, or the staff.
Do you disagree? Humana has taken over other operations ~ certainly they must have a record.
