Very concerned that there is no discussion of the budget. Recall that arrangements were made to have it available in e-format. - I noted the lighting costs - no comment on that. (except for Mr. Bright who wants to increase it :-() - I asked if prior budget documents could also be made

I think Werner is the perfect source. Unless I read it in the newspaper or see it here, I had generally lost interest until this past Spring and summer and to my surprise, I saw spruced up improvements, over all, which is not to say, improvements haven't been made. I didn't take into account
