Previously, we've been able to absorb cuts by using salvaged funds from the year before. This year, we had to make an adjustment.

Someone is out there using our good name soliciting funds.

I taught previously down in Stanton County for a year.

This year, the cut is so large, we have to take additional steps. All delegate agencies will receive less money. They provide critical services in neighborhoods.

It's basically the same offer we had previously, but we were able to also put in a signing bonus of $250 and agreed in years two and three to split any potential increases in health cares.

We seem to be able to absorb serial shocks.
