WD: Spending Over Budget

Near the end of the meeting a labor contract was approved that increased more than our revenue will increase by next year. Our revenue is projected at 1% (maybe 2% if we are lucky). The contract went up more than 2%. Dean pointed out that he can not support spending beyond our budget. Steve indicated that since it is once again a union contract that we can not do anything about it.

Dean voted against it. Steve, Linda Kim and John voted for it. Lyn was not at the meeting and Linda had to leave early.

[4/10/2008 - Correction - Linda did not vote for it as she was not there. Kim did vote for it.]

Maybe the Watch DOg Group should append UNION to their name, then maybe Steve would listen.

Derek,
Did Kim vote? Was Linda present for the vote or had she already left?

I corrected it -- Kim did vote for it. Linda had left by then.
