+I didn't attend this meeting which, after the many I've been too, proved to be something of a vacation.  However, according to the paper, exhaustive budget presentations have been scheduled and there is more talk about expanding office space for the County's administrative employees.  While I've attempted to inject some common sense on the topic, the office space issue (as in expanding it) is still being floated by H.
