[Lnc-business] Motions pertaining to the budget

[Tim Hagan]

At Sunday's meeting I will be offering three motions to amend the budget.
The costs for ballot access signatures are higher than predicted when the budget was set seven months ago. The LNC budgeted $272,500 for 2016 ballot access. The Executive Committee has encumbered $338,625. The Johnson-Weld campaign transferred $20,000 to the LNC for Pennsylvania. This amount can go under Ballot Access Revenue, and Donations can be increased to keep the budget balanced. I will move to change 70-Ballot Access Expenses from $272,500 to $338,625, increase 27-Ballot Access Donations by $20,000 to make it $213,700, and increase 21-Donations to make it $239,825.
A part-time contractor has been hired to handle press releases. Her work should fall into Media Relations. I will move to increase Media by $7000 and decrease Administration by $7000. This will change 80-Media from $3000 to become $10,000, and change 40-Adminstrative Cost from $270,050 to become $263,050.

We are selling Johnson bumper-stickers, signs, and door hangers, but the Branding revenues and expenses are already getting close to the budgeted values. I will move to increase both 26-Brand Development Revenues and 55-Brand Development Expenses from $65,000 to $100,000.
