[TB] Just like a school district, I would expect payroll to be a large portion of the expenses. The park board is people doing things, taking care of parks, running programs, etc. It's not a business making or selling wigits. They own land, they don't depreciate it, they aren't paying taxes (except some payroll taxes), they aren't out there trying to turn a profit. The comparision should by to other park systems, not to Wal-Mart. Terrell Brown Loring Park __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
