"When we approved our budget [for FY 2013],
we felt we were fine for this year and poten-
tially for next year," Hines said. "This goes with
what Commissioner [Christine] Robinson has
been saying in the past. For us to spend into
reserves beyond what is a safe and reason-
able point really isn't fiscal sustainability. And
we all know that … That is why we are doing
these additional budget reviews."

For us to spend into reserves
