<P><FONT SIZE=2>Hi Wayne & Bill,<BR>
<BR>
Last month Mayor Chaney told me that Exxon-Mobil offered to pay for extra police costs. We need some clarification here.<BR>
<BR>
Is Duke paying his officers after getting a check from Big Oil?<BR>

Applying Wayne Price's logic . . .<BR>
<BR>
Tax payers should be held financially responsible for providing law enforcement security to Renaissance Fair and Rendezvous in the Park.<BR>
