Latest MOB file

Mr. Lynam of the Finance Committee sends this email regarding the MOB file

Bill,
I am going to try something new with the impending distribution of the MOB files ahead of this Thursday's Fin Com meeting.
There has been data I have omitted from the MOB due to its size that I really want to have for my own use. Editing it out because of the file size, or maintaining two separate files, is a pain in the %$^&*#.
I have created a web page, of sorts, for the general public in that [ Free ] Mickey Mouse template that Comcast provides [ no disrespect meant to Mickey ] .

From this link there is a general description of what the MOB file is, and isn't, along with a link to a file called " MOB.xls " ... this will always be the most current iteration of the file.
For the normal distribution to the normal suspects I will provide a direct download link to the most current file named in the usual manner [ FY10 MOB 6_26_09.xls ... for example ] All this should make it easier for those with limited download speeds and / or mailbox limitations, while at the same time avoiding you from having to take up huge amounts of space in your blog storage.
I thought I would give this a try and see how it works out.
Any comments or suggestions are welcome ......
The FY10 budget is some $84K ...

... in the red right now. That is without town employee pay increases and assuming the state does not cut our aid as they did this year. Negotiations with town employee unions are underway or beginning.
