Budget Policy Manual Change
by Tim Hagan 27 Sep '19

27 Sep '19

I'm not asking for co-sponsors yet, but I believe that we need to change Section 2.03, Subsection 3 - Budget of the Policy Manual. In part is says, "No budget shall be submitted to the LNC for approval that exceeds 110% of the actual revenue over the immediate past 12 months prior to the date of the budget approval." We violated this sentence almost every other year. Even-numbered year budgets include convention revenue, which isn't in the odd-year budgets, and can drive the even-year revenues to be above 10% more than the odd-year revenues. Another problem with the sentence is that the submitted budget is constrained by the immediate 12 months prior to the date of approval. When the Executive Committee is developing the budget to submit, it doesn't necessarily know the actual revenue for the month immediately prior to approval. For example, the Executive Committee desires to draft a budget in October to be considered for the November meeting. Nobody will know the actual final October revenues yet. If, for some reason, the budget gets delayed to an e-mail ballot, the date of the budget approval could be in December, yet the Policy Manual requires the budget submitted not to exceed 110% of the actual revenues from December 2018 to November 2019. We do our best to estimate based on the previous months, but it's still an estimate. I guess we could use a Ouija board or a TARDIS to get the actual October and November revenues, however a TARDIS is expensive even to rent and Ouija have questionable accuracy. I'll throw this out for word-smithing before seeking co-sponsors. I changed "of the budget approval" to " the budget is submitted", and put in wording concerning convention revenues. No budget shall be submitted to the LNC for approval that exceeds 110% of the actual revenue, not including convention revenue, over the immediate past 12 months prior to the date the budget is submitted. Budgeted convention revenue shall not exceed 110% of the revenue of the immediately previous convention. -- Tim Hagan Treasurer, Libertarian National Committee

Primaries

I brought this up to Mr. Fishman privately and now to the LNC since it is a course we are going down. I have severe objections to us encouraging affiliates to choose a primary, and do not think this was a course that should have been done without explicit LNC approval. * In Liberty,* * Personal Note: I have what is commonly known as Asperger's Syndrome (part of the autism spectrum).
