I'd wonder what took so long but i guess there is no logical answer.

I'm rather in a state of shock... they are doing something good for us? What's the catch?!

Ilnda, as I read it they are only taking half what we pay, but it is better than nothing and long, long overdue.

Lisa, it is!

Jan, too little, too late, but better than not doing it

Sara, only 7.5 cents vs our 15, but a step in the right direction. It is supposed to be on powder too and that should give the Check Off a huge boost as there is a staggering amount of it imported every year!
