Operating Budget
In Fall 2011, the Senate's operating budget was used to pay for salary and recurring costs, most notably the printer and phone bill. In Spring 2012, $66 was spent on office supplies and $1,324 was spent on computer supplies that will be used by a research assistant. The remainder of the funds will be used to compensate a research assistant who will work on projects assigned by the committees. Feel free to review the 2011-12 Senate operating budget and a complete, detailed list of expenditures to date.
