I think she's getting wary of me. The last time I contacted her about what the cost of the May '09 election was--she told me to FOIA. She did end up telling me about $50,000 from her "memory." I asked her, because the O/E said $40,000--so I wanted the LPS "answer."

Why one would have to FOIA for that information, which was shared at a BOE meeting (which I missed)--I don't know.
someone, help me on this - would this line item be in the "bills for payment?"

I'd be willing to waste an hour looking for it!

Somewhere in the maze of the LPS financial mess called "bills for payment" there should be a reimbursement to the city of livonia for the cost of running the election through the city clerks office.

Yes. Steve made a point of discussing it at the time.

So, it's not necessary to FOIA to get a breakdown of costs? How strange that I was told it was necessary to FOIA.

Info was a result of FOIA.
The FOIA detailed everything . . .BIC pens cost $6.20; travel for roving chair $40.00; 1314 AV Ballots that went out bulk rate at a rate of .16 ea cost $210.24 - whereas the 136 AV Ballots that went out first class at a rate of .58 each cost $78.88

THE cost for the election (pertaining only to Livonia residents) is obviously where the Observer based their info on. The 39K does not include the cost incurred in Westland, nor the printing of the ballots by Wayne County.
I'd agree with you, but then we'd both be WRONG.
