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.

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.

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.

It has certainly been a shock to me. This is the first time we've ever known this to happen.

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.
