Sullivan Answers On Finance Commission Service
Chairman Sullivan said he had not yet served a full term as a member of the Finance Commission and was the only paid member. The commission seeks $35,000, but spent under $28,000 last year. He noted expenses would have been higher if not for the death of the bureau of municipal research director, and the search for Ernst's successor continues without a suitable replacement.
