Commissioner Park explains that DSS is engaged in internal contingency planning to prepare for potential funding cuts. While avoiding specifics, she emphasizes the challenging nature of the decisions that may need to be made.
- Consideration of what could be done differently or reduced in the face of cuts
- Reluctance to provide specific details to avoid providing a 'roadmap' for cuts
- Acknowledgment of the limited good options available given the potential magnitude of cuts

What could we do differently and what would we do less of if faced with these cuts?

I'm not going to go into specifics here both because we're still in the planning process, but more importantly because I don't want to give a roadmap for how cuts could be taken.

But what I will say is there are very few good options given the magnitude that we're talking about.

There are some very grim choices in front of us.
