Clyde,
Thank you for responding. I found the declaration however it did not have any modifiers (excuse my terminology; newbie to css).
So I created the ID selector at the end of the style sheet and put in the padding just you you suggested in your example:
#siteinfoLegal {padding-bottom: 10px;}
However all it did is add more white space below that specific line about copyrights or should I say it expanded it downward.
What I'm trying to do reduce or eliminate is the light blue space below the copyright notice so the main page fills the whole screen. If you go to the site you can see how large it is:

Your suggestions are greatly appreciated on resolving this small problem.
