<div>As a matter of practice, we do not handle the budget for ballot access within the committee. There is no money being allocated; only strategic planning. Whether that's right or wrong, that's what's happening on those calls.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>As to why the budget needs to be increased, I believe it's simply a matter of "best case" versus "expected" versus "worse case" planning, where the increase was leaning a bit too far toward the "best case" scenario. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>There's a monstrous amount of information required as a committee report to the full LNC at the next LNC meeting. I plan on working with the committee, LP National staff, the Johnson campaign, and various state chairs and state access drive directors to create a full after-action report, complete with recommendations for improvement. </div>

<div>I voted yes on the Motion because - well we are stuck - it needs doing.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>But what happened here? Why are we hearing this now?</div>

<div>And this is a great example of why I push for transparent Committees. </div>

<div>We of course can ask for report, but that is not the same thing.</div>

The<br /> bad news is that it cost more than we had anticipated at our<br /> July<br /> meeting. At that meeting the Ballot Access budget was<br /> increased to<br /> $340,000. We have presently spent approximately<br /> $381,000 on ballot<br /> access, which exceeds our budgetary authority as well as the<br /> 10%<br /> overage allowed by the policy manual.<br /> <br /> There are petitioners who are working at present in<br /> Kentucky, which is<br /> the last state with an active petition drive. It is my<br /> intent to<br /> continue to pay the petitioners while this email ballot is<br /> pending.<br /> My apologies for not requesting this budget increase<br /> earlier, things<br /> moved very quickly with NY/OH/CT/NH/DC all going at the same<br /> time.<br /> <br /> I would like to request an email ballot for a motion to<br /> increase the<br /> ballot access budget to $390,000.<br /> <br /> Yours truly,<br /> Nick<br /> <br /> ______________________________<wbr />_________________<br /> Lnc-business mailing list<br /> <a href="mailto:Lnc-business@hq.lp.org">Lnc-business@hq.lp.org</a><br /> <a href="http://hq.lp.org/mailman/">http://hq.lp.org/mailman/</a><wbr />listinfo/lnc-business_hq.lp.<wbr />org<br /> <br /> <br /> ______________________________<wbr />_________________<br /> Lnc-business mailing list<br /> <a href="mailto:Lnc-business@hq.lp.org">Lnc-business@hq.lp.org</a><br /> <a href="http://hq.lp.org/mailman/">http://hq.lp.org/mailman/</a><wbr />listinfo/lnc-business_hq.lp.<wbr />org</blockquote>
