The sad thing is, is the money needed is peanuts in the big picture. What did they say, Reiter needs 87,000$ a year? On a state level that's nothing! And they can't find the money? Anywhere? C'mon!

Once again, I got on the horn to my local representative. There is a special session for the legislature coming up and this is (literally) our last chance to save these programs. Funding could be restored if EVERYONE contacts there local representative. Be polite, but spell it out. Many of them don't fish and really need to be educated about the importance of these programs to us.
