The current bills are cleaner, more taxpayer-friendly. There's no fooling around with the complexity of a cap on how much you can defer.

This is good for the novice. They can absorb the complexity of a multi-leg bet and understand it easily. It's a bet that people can cash.

For this tax liability, it wouldn't matter how long a person held the fund. It would only matter how long the fund had held the security.

I was struck by the deep commitment that some of these individuals have for green building and the number of years they have been involved with the practice. Most of them have not just recently jumped on the bandwagon, but have helped create the current momentum that green building is enjoying locally.

If they have a placard, they think they shouldn't have to pay the fine.

I can't imagine what happens when the fine goes up to $250.
