RKLD Website Costs

So, 30 seconds on those pages with spending reports, showed that we spent $2,895.00 in 2011 on the website.

For 2012, we budgeted $5,000.00.

Looking at prior annual disclosure reports, the website spending was so insignificant, that the category was lumped-in with something called "Public Information."

Public information is the cost of publishing public meeting notices, etc - and it was/is still FAR below the (alleged) claim that the website cost $40,000.

Anyone who knows anything about websites - and the town of Albion does not have a website - but for those of us who rely on websites, knows $40,000 is a LOT to spend.

But to provide full disclosure to our electors, we have included a stand-alone category called website.

If only EVERY elector had email and were willing to share their email address with the RKLD - we could forego the cost of printing 4,000+ newsletters every year - and the cost of mailing them to 4,000+ addresses every year.
