Mr. Speaker,
we
should
remember that we do recognize — and I agree with
the Member — that we do have a serious situation with the deficit situation, and we have to work to resolve those.
The authority has a budget of about $88 million. Each payroll is about $2 million. Money comes in; money comes out. They have receivables in their budget, and they are having to pay for lots of things. It’s a cash-flow issue.
The accumulated-deficit issue is something I’m working on with the public administrator and the management of the authority.
