From the transcript
One is if we do no longer do these pull tabs, there will be no tax revenue. So the other side of the coin is if more charitable organizations don't want to do pull tabs, there will be zero tax revenue from pull tabs. None. The other part about it is we deliver 100%, 100% of the money that's given to us is put back into this community, all by volunteers. Everybody here does not work for free.
