But then where's he gonna get enough money to buy FOOD with.
It takes quite some little bit to keep that frame in such a condition.

Dear Ms. Welton :
My legislative aide, Cheryl Parkman, made enquiry for me regarding the fund expenditures of the PTM program at auto racing tracks. You were kind enough to forward clarification of how the money was spent.
The data I have shows the following :
1. At five race tracks the amount expended for advertising in various forms totaled $ 70,100 for 14 races.
2. The six drivers sponsored cost an additional $23,000 for five appearances at races with their commitment to be tobacco-free and to promote tobacco-free messages at their speaking engagements.
3. The events were selected by the 31 Healthy Maine Partnerships.
I would like to know if there were any measurable results from this effort. Has this been successful elsewhere ? How long were the messages on the billboards ? Were the program ads only for those 14 particular races, or, were the ads in all programs for all races for the season ? What did you learn from this project ?
I look forward to your response to my questions and your comments on whether this way of using the tobacco funds should be repeated or not.
Sincerely yours,
Name
What with the lousy Maine budget, I think ole MaryBeth is afraid that she is losing her big honey pot of wasted funding!
Oh boy, what is he going to do, when the fat police springs into action.
By the way, I hear there is good money in begging on the street.
