Fund Quotations | Page 6

We have never denied a claim because we lacked the money. We want to give this money. We want to disperse the funds and pay the bills. We aren't trying to keep tight purse strings, if you will.

We're going to distribute the funds from both allocations to county judges who have set up committees to focus on the individual needs and help distribute the funds.

We're facing a serious crisis that may end up culling some of the very best people out of the biomedical research enterprise. There will be people who lose all funding or have gaps in funding so they can't maintain the infrastructure they've built.

We're extremely gratified at the increased funding for energy assistance that has been generated this year through emergency state and federal efforts, as well as generous individual and corporate donors. Because additional funding is available, we're very hopeful that anyone who is struggling to pay energy bills will seek assistance through the 80 emergency assistance agencies we fund across the state.

We're just not getting the funding for the legislature to get updated and new equipment.

We're flush with revenue and there's no economic crisis. I can't imagine their excuse for not fully funding these programs this year.

We're hoping that the visioning will be the basis for the Hampden master plan for the next five years, which includes not only the issues but how to address them, where to find funds to implement solutions.

We appreciate all that the commissioners do to help us and other agencies throughout the county. We know they have a difficult task in responding to all the funding requests.

We are proud to be in a position to offer these funds to the community. Personally, I'm honored to represent this group of vintners who lend a hand whether it be for Hurricane Katrina relief or to help a neighbor in need.

We are proud to be a part of the team of industry leaders brought together to showcase Hydrogen technology for these TUG airport ground support vehicles. With millions of dollars of funding available through the Voluntary Airport Low Emission (VALE) program to poor air quality 'non-attainment' airports throughout the United States, projects like this where the end product has near zero emissions, will prove to be a popular choice.
