Spending Restraint

By Kenneth J. "Ken" Aufsesser

As Thomas Friedman wrote in the New York Times on May 9, government must make hard choices to cut spending to preserve a rich future for our issue.

To offset the one-sidedness of cuts, public fiduciaries need to be creative and invite target groups to participate in creating a less stressful and more inspired work environment for those affected by the need for reduced spending. In our community, teachers students and Taxpayers must all be heard. There is no place for condescension, arrogance or refusal to consider diverse views.
