Question posed to madg: "Are there any organisations currently funded by Berkeley, that aren't open to all taxpayers?

Answer by madg: I don't know,...

From the article above:

There's also selective denial of public benefits. Berkeley leads the way by singling out the Sea Scouts for a fee to use the city's marina. After being permitted free use for 50 years, the Sea Scouts in 1998 were suddenly hit with a charge of more than $500 per month. No other nonprofit is required to pay to berth at the marina. The fee is imposed explicitly because of the Sea Scouts' affiliation with the Boy Scouts.

Thanks, HW.

So Madg will support prejudice, as long as it's against a group she doesn't like?

Somehow, that doesn't come as a revelation.
