this message may not have gone through the e-mail system earlier this week.
There have been no responses to the survey to date. We have extended the
response deadline to Friday, November 6, but would appreciate having as many
responses as possible by the original November 3 deadline to allow staff and
consultants to begin preparing an analysis for the <st1:PersonName w:st="on">OEBB
Board</st1:PersonName> to consider. Thank you very much for your time.
It is very important that the Board have a complete picture of the current
spending account offerings in our participating entities. See below for
