O'Connell on FY11

he thinks the figures "may turn out to be too optimistic"
9c cuts this year, next year
fixed costs going up, possibly
state funding, city funding of foundation budget in danger
"may turn out to be even worse"

"a different type of thinking" evidenced by the presentation
should not just cut away slices of what we have
"let's not slice away with what we've been given..focus on what we need...art, music, athletics, are vital"
extremely difficult to bring them back

a lot of advocacy in the coming year
grant funds, medicaid with city

"where in the priority of the City Council and the City Manager does education fall?"
