Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	4. Income Taxes At the end of each interim period, we make our best estimate of the effective tax rate expected to be applicable for the full fiscal year and the impact of discrete items, if any, and adjust the rate as necessary. The Company recorded an income tax expense of $3.0 million and $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, resulting in effective tax rates of 19.7 percent and 13.3 percent, respectively, as compared to the 21.0 percent federal statutory rate. The difference in the Company’s effective tax rates as compared to the statutory rate in both periods was primarily the result of earnings attributable to its noncontrolling ownership interests in partnerships, which had a larger impact in the prior year period. Additionally, the effective rate for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was impacted by higher state taxes as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018.
