The "capital program money" comes from the Nov. 2000 referendum. That money can only be spent on what the voters voted for, by law. Judith Yates Borger wrote an article for the Pioneer Press about the director's salary, among other things: http://www.twincities.com/mld/pioneerpress/5786593.htm It was also reported in Library Journal that some candidates dropped out of the running for MPL director because they were expecting a salary of at least $200,000. --Charles Gimon Waite Park (speaking only for myself) TEMPORARY REMINDER: 1.
