After watching the budget presentation and listening to the questions and comments, I feel compelled to
suggest, in light of so many unknowns with Covid-19, the budget not be cut at this time. I support the BOE
budget development process and cuts they have already put in place prior to this presentation. I agree with
Steve Elci and support his suggestion to stay the course or we will indeed end up cutting teaching positions. I
also support Baird Welch-Collins concern over lack of support for an otherwise arbitrary reduction in the
increase, I also wonder if Millstone property has been revalued in light of the revenue stream it has secured with
the assistance of the state DEEP and PURA.
Thank you,
Bonnie Palmer
