"The Special Olympics is an international organization dedicated to enriching the lives of children and adults with disabilities through athletics and competition. The Law Enforcement Torch Run began in 1981 when the police chief of Wichita, Kansas, saw an urgent need to raise funds for and to increase the awareness of the Special Olympics. The Torch Run was then quickly adopted by the International Association of Chiefs of Police. Today, the Torch Run is the largest grassroots effort that raises funds and awareness for the Special Olympics program. The event in D.C. is one of many Law Enforcement Torch Runs throughout the country and across 35 nations."

"In this case, the legislation singles out certain professional service businesses for a punitive tax hike, including those in the fields of health, engineering, architecture, accounting, actuarial science, performing arts, and athletics. Ironically, these are some of the fields in which there is actually demand for new employees, according to the AP story I referenced earlier."
