I'd like to discuss the issue of operator fees. VDACS dictates that charities are only allowed to pay a fixed fee to operators for their services, as opposed to a percentage of the revenue. This creates difficulties for charities, as they are required to cover the flat fee even when revenue is low. Why would we want to limit the amount of good a charity can do.  Without proper operation, this could greatly reduce the amount a charity could bring in.  A practical solution would be to delete the first two sentences of 11VAC20-30-60.P. Commissioner Guthrie has stressed the significance of charities meeting their use of proceeds. Beyond this aspect, the state shouldn't be involved in micromanaging charities' business dealings and possibly causing a negative impact on the good a charity can do for our communities and people.
