There's 100% truth to what you wrote Don...at least in Jefferson County that's how it is anyway. Spend it or else they don't get as much next year is the way they do things. In fact, when the school board comes up with next years budget (at the end of June), they shoot for the moon and put every possible project known to man on the "budgeted" wish list, knowing full well they won't get all of it.
