No Doubt, but the question is with continuous funding, without periodic
taxpayer review, how long will Foothills continue to be as good as folks say
they are now?  How much funding are they getting now?  What does this work
out to per client and per employee?

I'm still not sure how I will vote on this, but frankly I have serious
doubts that it will pass - especially in our so called recession.  If this
doesn't pass, I would suggest a five year plan next time around.  Also, if
only 5% is needed locally... there must be some tremendous resources coming
their way from other sources if this is going to be a matching funds type of
thing.  Perhaps this increase is still just a bit too high?  I wish some
numbers were available, but I didn't notice anything of substance on the
foothills site.
