I will bet that someone profited (or will profit) from the granting of these waivers. This is one of the most vile things that goverments can do. It's like selling indulgences.

Where I live, there is an item pricing law. We were told how stores that did not individually price items (as opposed to shelf pricing), were evil, how they didn't care about old people, etc. They made a law to stop the evil practice. However, a store can purchase a waiver from the state. I guess that makes it ok. It's one of my pet peeves. Same thing going on here I guess.

Sorta reminds me of the granting of Pardons such as the Bent One did when Denise Richards was accomodating for a Quid Pro Quo....

How is this any different, when Big Donors are suddenly exempt from Law that applies to the rest of us?
