allow anybody asking budgetary complain dilemma folks impossible maintain meet morale nor office pay people qualified risks run somebody staff support sustain talking tried trying understand worry year
I understand the dilemma and the risks I'm asking you to take. I'm asking you to support me and to allow me to run this office for one year the way I can maintain morale and keep two qualified people working. I can do that and meet your budgetary requirements, ... I can never do that and keep the courthouse happy. I don't try to do that. I've not tried that for 20 years.

If you want to pay the folks in the clerk's office $60,000, I don't care. I'm talking about one person here and trying to sustain it for one year.
