None 1:02:10 "the governor recently at the beginning of this month rescinded that law and it's got the not for profit world very nervous" 1:25:07 "the governor's executive order suspends prompt payments to not for profits and so it makes it difficult for us to respond to people who are hurting and in need right now" 1.3 million people work in new york's not for profit sector.

The number of those the serve, exponentially higher.
