[Vision2020] WHO IS CQE.... sorta answered

[cjs]

Thank you Tom for what their title stands for. However, we all already know that. We are more interested in their budget. Like where are they getting all this money to promote the bond passage? Most people say it is the Trail Foundation. If CQE would tell us that no it is not. A lot of us would be satisfied.

Phil
