Budget Factoid

So I'm all comfy on my sofa under a faux fur blanket, watching the snow fall and going over the first draft of the proposed 2011-2012 budget and scribbling notes and questions.

And at the same time, there is angry accusatory discussion about AMC travel expenses on both the LocSec elist and the Yahoo groups. Here's and interesting budget factoid that should but probably won't put things into a different perspective:

The cost of banking and credit card fees for AML is higher than for four meetings' worth of AMC travel, lodging, and meals.

Is there any way for Non-AMC members to get a copy of the proposed budget, so that we might be able to provide suggestions or comments? I can't find anything along these lines on the website.

I think after the Fin Comm gets it done and ready for the AMC to review that it's available for the general membership like the agenda is. What i'm looking at is the worksheet and dept plans and first draft plugging in of numbers. What goes to the AMC after next weekend will be quite different.
