Mr Hutchinson reviewed budgets with the Board until the App Com
Appropriation Committee arrived at 9 15 a.m. Mr White said the - Budgets
committee had looked at 24 different accounts, with a net reduc-
tion of $66,693 This is indicative of how we looked at the budgets
in the light of our concerns, taxpayers' concerns, and the new
Governor's concerns We don't feel it is a mandate but we have to
deal with realities; essentially, we have gone back to last year's
level and we felt our differences would not hurt the function of
these departments
