I haven't looked at the budget yet - tsk tsk I know but I will get to it tonight or tomorrow morning for sure when I'll be captive in a basement for two hours unable to move. <BR/><BR/>However - based on my usual biases when it comes to strengthening such services, depending on the size of the increase and the design on what's to be done with the increase, I doubt I'll have a huge problem with it - just don't know - haven't seen.<BR/><BR/>I'll also say that again, as I said on the radio this morning, this is another lose-lose for any Republican who isn't willing to break somewhat with the hard right party line: such monies, I am guessing, go toward directly or indirectly strengthen families - isn't that a big call out from conservatives? Though they also like to call it handouts - which of course need not be one and the same.<BR/><BR/>Likewise, such monies upfront get at the problem of kids and families being on rolls for a lifetime or several lives' times.<BR/><BR/>Again - I need to look first, but that's my "without knowing" guess.Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02175591212176951287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32582789.post-30079309115701817412007-03-15T13:49:00.000-04:002007-03-15T13:49:00.000-04:00Jill,FCF Councils and ABC (Behavioral Health - Chi...Jill,<BR/><BR/>FCF Councils and ABC (Behavioral Health - Children) got line item increases built into the budget, when most everything else stayed flat or was decreased. I would have to make more disclosure than I would want to in order to comment on this, but I thought perhaps you might have something to say.bonobohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08241279987882052237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32582789.post-17603532355950932562007-03-15T12:07:00.000-04:002007-03-15T12:07:00.000-04:00The budget? numbers?
