That program is training 45 low-income individuals for good-paying health care administrative careers. The state budget is being craftedinthe House and Sen- ate; the governor submitted his budget in January as a starting point for this years deliberations. I do claim to be an expert in the state process, having served as staff director to a represen- tative who was on the Ways and Means Committee in the 1980s. With our state tax revenues increasing for the second straight year, I CONTINUED FROM PAGE A:10 think that the state budget will not be cutting programs in any significant way. Most funding areas will probably be maintaininglevels of fund- ing, with small increases in some areas. So my budget anxiety is a bit relieved by recent federal action. I don't even want to go into a description of the formulas that drive the fed- eral money that we receive. I could get depressed again. Let it suffice to say that I did see what Ithink is good news recently regarding which set of census data the feds will use to send Department of Labor money back to the states. So,I guess that we allhave several budgets to worry about. And, while my anxiety is a bit lower this week, it is subject to rise at a moment's notice; especially when I receive red flag e-mails from the National Association of Workforce Boards, alerting me to the most recent danger that my budgeting process is facing.

Only Better. y m Human Services... CONTINUED FROM PAGE A:1 human services. Pilot House is among the programs that would lose all county funding. The hearing, to be held by the Assembly of Delegates ' committee on health and human services , will begin at 2:30 p.m. in the Is" District Barnstable Court House in Barnstable Village. Goyer and Estelle Fritzing- er, executive director of Com- munity Action Committee of Cape Cod & Islands, plan to makethe casefor partial fund- ing of allrecommended activi- ties. Others such asAlanBurt, coordinator of the Salvation Army Overnights of Hospital- ity program for the homeless, willcallfor funding to be taken from county programsto sup- port Pilot House and CAC's community outreach worker in Hyannis,both of which have been funded partially by the council this year. "if there isn't enough money to fund everybody, why not allocate out on a pro-rated basis?" Goyer asked. "Why should there be afew winners and so many total losers?" Getting even partialfunding is something "we could lever- age with a potential funder," said Goyer. "The Community Action Committee is very disap- pointed in the commissioner's recommendations,"Fritzinger said. "If there is not at least minimal funding, programs will go away."
