Budget cut article

So I read an article this morning about the City council and the budget cuts that are going to be done. It did say that if this 1/2 cent tax does not go through they did give the go ahead to cut Police, Fire and Parks and Rec employees. The number that was thrown out was 659 employees and 274 of them are Police Officers and higher ups. This is not what I wanted to be reading on this Thursday morning, it has only caused my anxiety to go up, I have felt like I need to get sick all morning. Have had that terrible feeling in the pit of my stomach and it won't go away.
I actually read a couple articles, the first one had me thinking that cuts to the Police might not be happening, but after reading the second I realized that would not be the case. So here we sit waiting on this so called list the HR will be churning out and just hope that Luke's name is not on it and if it is then we sit and wait until November and just hope that the people vote on this 1/2 cent tax, which unfortunately is very doubtful :(
I don't know how things are going to play out for us in the next year or few years for that matter.
We are re-thinking somethings and will probably have to make some real grown up decisions and it totally sucks. I knew this bad economy would affect us, but I never dreamed it would affect us to this degree. Here we were a year ago, enjoying our new home, and now it seems to be the only thing that I would rather not be attached too ...but I just love it so much.
The 2 months, could just be the most stressful months of my life so far... Luke seems to be doing much better then I am, maybe I am jumping the gun too much and assuming the worst, but like everyone keeps saying you have to hope for the best and plan for the worst. But it would be so much easier for me to plan for the worst if I knew what that meant.
