Lukes on FY11

"the public needs to know our reaction to it"
clear that education services, city government, both are going to change
important for schools to understand why city is in such a crisis
Don't expect to see any relief coming from the state, federal government ("unless they start printing money again with a stimulus package")
have to work with what we've got, rely on our own resources
tonight is the best scenario we're going to hear
crisis for two or three years, then economy will improve
Not a panic...students don't panic unless they see everyone else panicking
Lukes suggested that we cut out football during 2 1/2...never thought she's see such a reaction
Not going to be popular...the beginning of some very unpopular decisions
say "it's the best we can do, move on"
