I absolutely hate it, but in a time of budget cuts we have to look at things that are considered luxuries. It's a non-required luxury. This is a very difficult thing to do. It's a hard decision to make, but it's got to be done. |
It has certainly been a shock to me. This is the first time we've ever known this to happen. |
It's $16 million or $18 million (in cuts) that year and the year after that. This is not going to be easy for the next three years. |
The fact is we are not a taxicab service. If we start a precedent of taking someone anywhere think about it. |
There will always be folks who will find lots of reasons not to change. But I think a balanced calendar is part of a winning combination. |
We need to know what we're up against. We're going to probably have to look at something between $3 million and $6 million. |
