It will be interesting to see what a 0% increase looks like. I remember one budget cycle in #NewWest when they went out to the community to find efficiencies to cut the budget. Those were some pretty heated meetings (Cut library hours/Nooo cuts to library) because everyone has different priorities.

Not for me - I've got another project in the works these days. It would be nice to see it continue - it's one of my go-to places for Christmas shopping for a friend who brews.
