Dear Ben,
I have no knowledge of any discussion about the Freedom Center being considered for the
November 9 Commission meeting agenda. Don Murphy never mentioned this date to me. I am
confused as to how the Freedom Center could expect Tony to complete his work when the Freedom
Center hasn't met a single date by which we were promised information, and we still don't
have all the information that was requested months ago. It is Sunday evening prior to a
Tuesday morning Commission meeting. You state you might send us the missing information on
Monday morning, eight business hours prior to the Commission meeting. I don't think it is
humanly possible to do what you are asking at this late date. I am unaware of any reason why
a February decision by the Commission would be insufficient given the circumstances.

Kathy,
We understand the many demands on Tony's schedule, but based on the conversation between Don,
John and Mr. Budig; we , Don and I have been working under the assumption that all the
requested information was to be used for and included in the November 9 agenda. We are on
track to deliver both the audited financial statements tomorrow am and revised pro forma
statements, is there nothing that can be done to get the Center on Tuesday's agenda?
Thank you,
Benjamin T. Reece

=======================
Tony,
I left a voicemail message for Don Murphy clarifying that the Freedom
Center is not on the Commission agenda for November 9. I am not sure
how confusion arose on this, as I have not been in any conversations
where that date was discussed.
You have alerted me that we still have not received all of the promised
financial information from the Freedom Center. The very earliest the
Commission can consider the Freedom Center's request to modify the
existing MOU is the February 2011 meeting. The specific timing of
Commission consideration of the Freedom Center's request is subject to
the Freedom Center's responsiveness in providing the information they
previously promised. Obviously, we need the pro forma ASAP in order to
stay on track for the first quarter meeting in February 2011.
I am sure that representatives of the Freedom Center will understand
that we have dozens of other projects vying for your financial review,
and that repeatedly rescheduling your work is not efficient, nor is it
fair to other project sponsor organizations seeking approval of state
funds. I know you'll do everything you can to be responsive when the
Freedom Center provides the pro forma, and once you've had the
opportunity to prepare the financial analysis and recommendations we
will be able to get back with them.
Thanks,
Kathy

Ben,
I believe Kathy and Don have been corresponding regarding, among other
items, a revised proforma. Could you kindly expedite the proforma as
hope to start the financial analysis on Monday.
