Uh, how about instead of doing this commit every year, we just write a variable like:
$year = date("Y");
and then use $year -1, $year -2. Etc. We shouldn't hardcode things we expect to change in variables. If we do this, next year, our unit tests will automatically break alerting us to the fact we need to fix the dropdowns. Furthermore, we shouldn't remove 2009 as thats still needed
