THE BUDGET NEEDS TO BE CLEAR AND MAKE SENSE

GENERAL & ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE - $856,935

Oh my!  That’s almost $1 million.   Yes folks, $1 million and no details to be had.
What a nice “slush fund” and place to spend money without anyone knowing.

So, Mr. O’Brien, I’m certainly not implying that anything is being hidden.  However I do believe that it would be only correct and proper for you to provide 
a full itemization – including the dollars appropriated for each of the line items you have included.    

In the past, this might have included landscaping, taxes, legal, insurance, office supplies, salaries, taxes and many more.  I would suggest that you give the delegates the respect they deserve before having to vote on an issue as important as this one.  It’s not only the TOTAL dollars that count.  I remember often telling everyone – “watch the pennies, the dollars take care of themselves.”

And then, of course, there’s Mr. Lincoln – “BUT, YOU CAN’T FOOL ALL OF THE PEOPLE ALL OF THE TIME.”
