McKeever Questions Contract With Elden for Services
McKeever told Hodel by letter this week there is a misunderstanding and that the state has no contract with Mr. Elden for these services. He said the Conservation Commission would reimburse the Historical Drama Association 5.5 percent of the fee if funds were provided by the 55th Legislature, but he has not seen a final budget bill and believes no money was made available. He urged Hodel and his group to cover Elden's fee from operating funds, which Hodel said would not be done and a copy of the contract would be sent to the Conservation Commission.
