    Upcoming financials will show we're headed over budget on LP News
    for 2014.<br clear="none">
    <br clear="none">
    The biggest reason is that the December 2013 issue shipped so late,
    it's expenses ended up on the January 2014 financial results,
    instead of 2013.<br clear="none">
    <br clear="none">
    Each issue has been running about $8,500 although we only budgeted
    about $8,000 per issue. We budgeted for 6 issues this year, but with
    the December 2013 issue falling on this year, we'll hit 7 issues if
    we get the December one out on time this year. These numbers are not
    exact, but pretty close. <br clear="none">
    <br clear="none">
    I recommend increasing the 2014 budget for LP News by $11,500.
    That's $8,500 for the extra issue, plus 6x$500 for each issue.<br clear="none">
    <br clear="none">
    Before anyone might send a motion for that, I thought you all could
    discuss it amongst yourselves in case people are opposed or want to
    do something else.<br clear="none">
    <br clear="none">
    A few alternatives to consider:<br clear="none">
    1. Increase the 2014 budget for LP News by $11,500<br clear="none">
    2. Ship the December 2014 issue of LP News late so it shows up on
    the 2015 budget.<br clear="none">
    3. Don't send a December 2014 issue of LP News (we expect complete
    election coverage in the issue).<br clear="none">
