[Iowa-dx] Registering Green in Iowa-$200 for list of Greens?

[Hart, Holly J]

I think the most we ever paid for a statewide list was slightly under $200.=
  That included all "client" counties (those whose records were maintained =
solely by the SoS) and "non-client" counties (whose auditors were the prima=
ry record-keepers), except for Linn County.    I'll be curious to see if th=
e costs are the same in all counties.  What does the $200/yr subscription b=
ring, since you could pay $120 - $10 each month - and still get a monthly u=
pdate?    You would likely not need or want that much, more like every thre=
e months or so, anyway.

It seems most cost-effective if IAGP got a list (maybe every few months?) a=
nd distributed that to county chapters or contacts, and if counties wanted =
more updates, they can order them locally.

In any case, this makes me think we should be thinking of some way to publi=
cize this - it's eas(ier) to be Green....

Congratulations Ron!

In fact, I was so motivated that I went out and registered Green today in C=
edar
Rapids!

The reason we agreed to the current scheme was because we would have access=
 to
the list of registered Greens in Iowa for organizing purposes.  Unfortunate=
ly,
Tim at the Linn Auditor's desk said the state of Iowa has a new statewide
computer.  So instead of getting the Linn County list once a month for free=
, we
will have to pay for it.  He said it would cost $10 for every  report of Gr=
eens
in Linn County and $200 for a yearly subscription.  He wasn't sure how it w=
orked
in Johnson County.

As an alternative, he thought that the state Party could get a list of stat=
ewide
members and distribute to each county as the Democratic Party does.  He col=
lects
the new list for the Republican Party in Linn County twice a week.

Peace,

Bob
