While I respect the legislatures concerns, there are two unalterable facts that come with their decision not to address the outsourcing issue for these support positions at the soon to be sold Summit Park facility. We now have to additionally budget funds for 2015, unnecessarily adding to your cost as taxpayers. Secondly, and as we detailed to the Budget and Finance committee, these employees will now, in fact, be laid off when the buyer completes the transaction in a few months, and there will no way we can move them into a private concern and keep them employed. In short, and in the name of protecting their jobs, these employees are now doomed to be on an unemployment line early next year.
