I work for a non-profit in New York that is relies heavily on state and federal funding. We provide many services for people with disabilities.
We already got hit with a retroactive funding cut of a couple hundred thousand dollars, and from what we can tell with NY forecasting extreme cuts going forward we are going to in a real bind for 2009. For the remainder of this year we are going ahead with purchases that were already budgeted if they are critical but anything that is not critical we are not purchasing. We expect to be in maintenance mode for 2009, buying only what we need to keep functioning. > -----Original Message----- > From: Alex Eckelberry [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, October 29, 2008 10:20 AM > To: NT System Admin Issues > Subject: So... how is the recession affecting your buying decisions? > > You're all the admins who actually buy the stuff that people like Sunbelt > (and many, many others make).
