[Lnc-business] Email Ballot 2016-12: LPKY SCOTUS Appeal

[Tim Hagan]

I'm going to need a clarification on the two Kentucky ballots. The LNC has a Legal Offense Restricted Fund Account, which is from donations earmarked for that fund. We also have a Litigation line item in the budget. The Legal Offense Fund contains $25. The 2016 Budget has $5,559 left in the 75-Litigation line. However, the Litigation budget line also covers the appeal of the FEC lawsuit concerning contribution limits on bequests. E-mail ballot 2016-06 authorized $5000 from "Legal Offense budget line" for Arizona ballot access.

We have several options if the Kentucky motions pass:
Pay these out of the Legal Offense Fund, and wait for that restricted fund to get enough donations.
Transfer enough of the Unrestricted Cash to the Legal Offense Restricted Fund to fund the motions.
Pay these from the 75-Litigation line in the 2016 Budget, which would need to be increased.
Budgets get reset at the beginning of each year. If the funds are not needed until next year, we can include them in the 2017 Budget's 75-Litigation line.

Or give the Treasurer free reign to decide. (not my preference)


What is the intent of the mover of the motion? 

Thanks,
Tim Hagan
