Some facts I am sharing with our board tonight about our budget future:
Oklahoma is currently over $988 Million behind in revenues compared to this date last year.
The State Treasurer has compared the current economy to the economies of 1980 and 1929.
The top priorities for the state government continue to be education, transportation, and public safety.
Churches and local communities are coming out in droves to support the local senior centers.
The senior services program is still the most likely target for DHS to cut because our match is less contigent on federal dollars than other DHS programs.
Further cuts will result in a reduction in meals served, but we will not close any nutrition sites.
We will be more dependent on volunteers and community support than we ever have been.
We will likely have to cut several jobs.
No one is going to starve to death on our watch.
