Just as the final t’s were being crossed and I’s were being dotted, several Lane County officials took time out of their busy schedules to talk about the big issues facing Lane County, as the next budget proposal is rolled out.  The county will be experiencing deep cuts.  These “WaterCooler” interviews are intended to inform you of what may lie ahead.
