I hope you don't think I was ducking when I said I would not cut any
existing operating funds to put more money into restored library hours.
I said increased revenue sources are needed to do this and this is the
basis of Sheldon''s and my campaign. Taking from existing operating
dollars is not feasible, not good policy, and it pits interests against
each other.
We need a bigger pie, not a pie sliced differently.. That takes hard
work. It is not the easy answer but it is the best answer for the long
run.
Thanks,
