A slight increase in MDR cases causes us to use more money and more manpower to treat those cases.

If the projected 20 percent cuts in funding for the 2006-2007 fiscal year occur, it will cripple the TB treatment operations in Hidalgo County.

In my opinion, the growth of this (drug resistance) could be considered an epidemic situation.

Obviously this is alarming to us. Whenever we have any fatal collisions, we always look at what the causes were and what changes can be made, including environmental design.

Each of these dealers not only gives so much of their time and money to a wide variety of causes, but they encourage others in their communities to do the same. Their efforts are inspiring and we are very proud of them.

So many problems, however infinitely varied they first appear, turn out to be matters of money. I can't tell you how much this offends me.
