| Explanation | The percentage for 2021 was previously reported as 64.86%, however after a review of the internal organization's tracking the 2021 percentage should have been reported as 93.05%. In the 2021 filing there was a typo resulting in the inclusion of $57,296 on line 8, which should not have been there. This typo resulted in the inflation of the total support in line 11 which then reduced the public percentage support reported for 2021. The organization's Schedule A tracking process has been corrected. | ExplanationTxt |
