That just boggles the mind. Every late-June we get a steady stream of town and state trucks coming in to spend every last penny they have in their budget for that very reason. Rather than reward the departments for coming in under budget, the opposite happens and they get punished for saving taxpayer money. It's the complete lack of common sense in government.
