[Lnc-business] status of motions for donation to Mark Miller campaign

[Sam Goldstein]

Alicia,

I think the delay is in hearing back from Paula Edwards.  At the LP Marion
County meeting on Monday I asked both
Mark Rutherford and Evan Mahan about this and got different opinions as to
whether the LNC can give money directly
to the Miller Campaign or if it would have to be funneled through the LPTX.

I sense that most of the LNC are in favor of doing something for the Miller
campaign but we need to do it correctly.

Live Free,
