[Lnc-business] would like to cut 1 issue of LP News

[Daniel Hayes]

Wes,

I am fine with that.  Nick has the authority to direct staff he generally does that through you. This gets a little out of that scope of authority but, we are not spending more money so it shouldn't be a problem and we can amend the budget line in August. If it  has to come to a vote, I am going to vote to trim to 5.
