I had several cases of late where they forgot to pay the ____ monthly dues. And so, when they’re caught, they start calculating how much is owed and how much back taxes are required. And unfortunately, in many cases, this requires that the business go out of business. We’ve had several with the Department of Labor where again, they didn’t comply with those rules and there are hefty fines, in fact, they don’t go away. In our _____ typically, if we do 30 percent is the best we can do. On the other hand, if we’re dealing with the cities and the counties there’s more flexibility as long as we are somewhat compliant to the statutes.
