Dose of Reality -
Mr. Cotton is donating the equipment and first year's programming fees - as stated at the Monday meeting.
The question asked by "common sense" is valid - the city (taxpayers) wil be paying electric bills for the equipment, the salary of the UPTV employees who are downloading the program for broadcast, and other associated costs.
While the costs may be minimal, they are still taxpayer paid costs associated with the broadcast of Democracy Now!
If some donors are planning on making some financial contributions to take care of theses expenses - then, yes, the program will be totally funded by donations. But until then, there will be taxpayer costs.
Instead of insulting other posters, how about helping promote DN and raising funds so that there truly would be no cost to the citizens of Urbana. |
