- PGD9Politico Two thoughts about the PGCPS budget: (1) We need to know the details of line items named "Contractrual Expenses."
- PGD9Politico Not that I'm questioning the need for contracted services, but we need to see how those millions are spent.

- PGD9Politico Well that was an anti-climactic PGCPS public hearing...guess all our problems are solved for FY 2013.
