All right, people. It's time to get real about how we fund and manage a lot of important services in our area, many of which have already endured severe budgetary cuts. But, don't feel helpless. Your input is important.

You can spare two minutes to help our policy makers figure out how to allocate money and staff for one of our area's most precious resources, right?
