[Lnc-business] EMAIL BALLOT 200603-01: Change authority to cancel Orlando contract

[Caryn Ann Harlos]

I am not making one.  I am stating an opinion.

*In Liberty,*

* Personal Note:  I have what is commonly known as Asperger's Syndrome
(part of the autism spectrum).  This can affect inter-personal
communication skills in both personal and electronic arenas.  If anyone
found anything offensive or overly off-putting (or some other social faux
pas), please contact me privately and let me know. *
