The VFW is another bulletproof non profit organization that makes money in Debary. There are at least 50 others...none pay their fair share of taxes because they are special.
Visit the website Melissa Data.com look up non profits under the ZIP 32713.
Observe the NON Profit profiteers as they stuff taxfree cash in thier pockets and laugh at the taxpayers.
Who are the top 3 non profit bums in Debary?
@ Thomas Cupo
Come see me sometimes, do not forget to bring your infected mouth.
We have plenty legal criminals in Debary most have slithered into office and are currently wasting money on Splash Pads, Arts Centers and Empty parks. Real crooks are in government..why...because that is where the money is.
Now go crawl back in your hole take some anti-biotics.
He knows all about this criminal stuff.
Right Mort?
The Debary Criminals should have showed up celebrating all the scrap metal they have stolen all year. They are part of Debary as well.
Even the scrap metal buyers at American Salvage on Shell road got hit by scrap metal theives last week for $7000 worth of copper
It is the ultimate in recycling...steal it, sell it, steal it again and sell it again.
We can call it THEFTCYCLING ...welcome to the new normal.
