From the report: "Based on current forecasts, and absent any intervention, the County will have an annual budget shortfall of between $65 and $250 million dollars beginning in Fiscal Year (“FY”) 2017 through FY 2022."From Sarah Cavitt's October 2015 open letter to the Commission: "County leadership must earn the taxpayers’ confidence that monies are being used sensibly and appropriately. Instituting zero-based budgeting would be a significant first step. In addition, the appointment of an independent Inspector General is absolutely necessary so that citizens know there is someone to whom to report suspected abuse. Until those two initiatives are implemented, I suspect citizens will not have the confidence needed to change the current system, i.e. overturn TRIM."
