"We’ve seen closures of libraries; we have no seasonal park workers anymore to clean our parks. We have volunteers opening and closing regional parks in the evenings. We have delays in getting to folks who are most vulnerable, who are served by county services. Folks who are clients of the public guardian’s office, it takes us seven days longer than it used to to get to someone when there’s a report of a person with disabilities, or an elderly person who can’t care for themselves. We will go in and help them but sometimes that seven days can be a matter of life and death. "

- Washoe County Manager Katy Simon sings the budget-cut blues, and worries about the more cost shifting from the state to the counties.
