Locke verified that Arden Hills <br />contributions are not included in these expenses. <br /> <br />The following factors have contributed to the exceptionally high <br />1989 expenses: the forming of the Air Quality Board, the retaining <br />of an air quality consultant, public information campaigns and <br />mailings, and various legal fees. <br /> <br />Williams is not adverse to raising the license fees, as long as it <br />is justifiable and not discriminatory.
