Here is an email I sent to my legislators. I am very concerned that the Secretary of State has already met with librarians on this, thus indicating it might be a foregone conclusion. I missed this part of the article since I read it hurriedly. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.tallahassee.com/mld/democrat/news/local/5018483.htm How can this be? Here is a quote from the article above. We recently discussed this subject on the phone, and I mentioned that the librarians already think their job is ended July 1. Yet the legislature has not met. Excuse me, but there is something very wrong about this picture. Read this quote: ..."Kent Detzner, interim Secretary of State, met with library employees to explain job counseling and transfer options and said, "We are going to assist them in every way we can." He has assured rural counties, 30 of which depend on state grants for more than half their budget, that the grants program will continue. And while many details remain to be decided, he promised the state library collection and services will "remain available to the citizens." "What the governor's budget has done is challenge us all to think of better ways for government to operate," Detzner said. "This is just one of the areas where the governor had to make tough choices...."" How can they be explaining all this to employees when it has NOT happened yet. Or has it? xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxx Sydney Cardner
