I hope all your bills have been getting paid as First class stamps currently cost $.42, but that doesn't really matter because the newsletters would be distributed via <A>Bulk Mail.<BR/>="http://www.usps.com/businessmail101/rates/" target="_blank"></A> <BR/><BR/>So the calculation should read more along the lines of $1.75+0.20(bulk mail rate) = $1.95x30,000 (I doubt they mail all of them, and probably distribute some by hand to local businesses, Chamber of Commerce etc.)you still get $58,500*12months= 702,000*2/3(proposed budget cut)= $468,000/year. <BR/><BR/>The comparison still seems incomplete without looking at how much city staff time goes into preparing either of these items. <BR/><BR/>I would believe most of the internet broadcasting services (the link for the on-line broadcast, live stream, etc) would have been provided by, channel 55 is it? I may be wrong about that though, and think it may shed some valuable light on the situation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
