Liz wrote: It seems that Superintendent Gurban's insistence on confronting Jason Stone has created a large public relations nightmare for the MPRB. This is unfortunate because in order to balance the budget cuts were made in the public relations area. (from the mplsparkwatch.org archives) To solve that imbalance, the new proposed cuts are: 1. Eliminate the Jump In brochure and add $10,000 to Recreation budgets to publicize programs (net reduction of $40,000). 2. Contractual reductions for public relations, archives, historian and youth sports ($28,000).
