Congrats on your win. I just hope you have the patience to deal with a few of the strong opinionated commissioners who have been around for a while. They really don't have a clue how to manage a budget, don't know how to come up with new ideas for reducing expenses, and then they try to make it seem like you are the problem by making political statements such as "I have done everything I can to find ways to save money for the tax payers", and "I don't see any way at all to make any more cuts". Time for these dinosaurs to melt away into the tar pits.
