We're looking at another 25 percent (cut) next year.

Meridian grew 400 percent last year so we had five times as much business as the year before. Much of that was due to the Austin Energy solar rebate.

If nothing drastic changes, we'll be looking at a $1 million deficit next year. The sooner we cut it, the less deep we're going to have to go later. We're not saving anything by not making cuts, we're just delaying them and multiplying the costs.

The plan is a crystal ball for understanding what will happen over the next five years.

Organizations are looking for ways to cut costs.

It really looks like I'm going to be in the 6 car next year. It's looking more and more like that all the time.
