Almost Quotes
Today, the IT manager is under pressure from many, many different fronts.

Across Quotes
Unlike their colleagues across the Capitol, the House Budget Committee refrained from undermining the federal budget process and kept Arctic drilling out of its spending plan.

Bypass Quotes
We got the players we wanted. We didn't take players because we thought we could sign them. We didn't bypass somebody. These were the players we wanted. We had worked the budget and worked with David and Jeffrey on the budget, and we're confident if this guy is here at that number, we're going to be able to sign him and get it done.

Final Quotes
We are in the final weeks of the Iowa legislative session and where is the Governor? He's been in Florida, Washington D.C. and New York, just in the past four days. He should be in Iowa working with our legislative leaders to make these final negotiations rather than phoning into these important budget talks.

Aim Quotes
We are in a race, but we don't know where the finish line is. We must have more consultation with the town council in order to determine where the finish line is.

Direction Quotes
We are a can-do agency, used to getting it all done even if we have to make some tough decisions. But we are seeing hits in all budget areas, so it's not like there's a whole lot of extra money that we can take for travel planning. We're hoping to get some direction in how to prioritize, given our funding level.

Achieve Quotes
The overarching point of the president's economic strategy going forward in the 1999 budget is clear: under no circumstances should we take any steps that will undo the fiscal discipline that we have worked so hard to achieve and has been so central to our strong economy of the last five years.

Entire Quotes
The outlook right now is unfortunately that we're facing incredibly tight budget times and the federal government is not going to be able to provide many dollars. That said, the projects that do get priority are the projects that entire communities get behind, and (that) have broad-based support.

Budgets Quotes
When Dan Cooper puts together a budget that shatters state spending records, I can understand why he's sensitive about someone looking over his shoulder. But Gov. Sanford's job is to look out for the hard-working taxpayers of this state, and that's always going to be his top priority.
-
Ability Quotes
We are confident the hospital would be able to comfortably make the bond payments. Not only do we have the ability to make adjustments in our current budget to accommodate the payments, but we also reasonably anticipate that the new facility will help us capture additional revenue from this growing market.

Benefit Quotes
The question is, are these government officials using their leverage over the university's budget and other things to extract a personal benefit to them that is inappropriate? I do think there is an ethical problem with this. But I would be surprised if this sort of practice is not widespread with sports franchises generally.

Cover Quotes
This special interest incentive would be a disgrace. With budget deficits growing to historic levels, we need to make sure tax dollars are going to those who truly need the government's help ... We trust you will do the right thing and make sure federal resources go to the poor, the needy and the vulnerable and not the gambling interests who already have insurance to cover catastrophic events like hurricanes.
