[Lnc-business] 2020-Finalist-Comparison-REV.pdf

[Joshua Katz]

I'm not voting, but I agree that I couldn't make sense of F&B minimums
without some idea of what we're getting for that price, as an example.
Does it make sense to go 20% higher than past performance?  Probably not,
in my view - but if we're going to, for instance, increase the cost and
price of the banquet - and we have 2018 data showing we can still sell -
then I could see it.  But I'd need to know what we're buying for that money
to know if it makes sense or not.
