And you are to be commended for the work that you have done to try to save the taxpayers dollars. I notice that your request this year, 88. 2 is almost a million less than you requested last year, and i can tell you, fellow members up here dont see that happen very often when an agency comes in and asks for less money than they received the year before. We thank you for that. I know you done some Cost Containment initiatives dealing with technology and personnel and it has paid off. I know there is small increases that are inflationary themselves. So we look forward to hearing from you about the resources that you need, and any other comments yo ....
