A fair point, AFY. I specifically used figures in here discussing expenditures … meaning what they’ll spend. In 2009, the adopted budget was $216.1 million in expenditures. In 2010, it is dropping down to $187.8 million in expenditures. It’s a decrease of 13.1 percent.

They’ve cut $28.3 million in expenditures from the budget over both years.

Thanks, just checking, I have found when it comes to government spending, budgets and spending can have different meanings!
