Still Fiscally Challenged The Good • Reduced Taxes • Cut Spending • Decreased Size of Government (reduced workforce by 16%) • Silver Lining – we are a more efficient operation • “Purposeful Abandonment” • Indications of economic improvement The Bad • Service levels are becoming “frayed” • We are much more reactive, than proactive, in our budgeting • Reserves spending is unsustainable OVER THE LONG TERM
