This includes $379,600 for salaries, $129,773 for related personnel costs, $52,304 for operations, and $11,234 for conferences and travel. No money is assigned to professional fees, major equipment purchases, or data processing. The office can have up to five regular employees but does not have to fill every job. Annual salary caps are $104,500 for one chief of staff/legal counsel, $77,000 for one communications/policy director, $75,000 each for two security officers, and $44,000 for one executive assistant/scheduler.
