Well bless Jackie, Linda and the staff of Island County Human Services for working hard to find ways to best allocate these funds.  I know how incredibly hard this staff works to bring direct services to people.  It appears however, that once again, bureaucracy is managing to get in the way of support to those most in need, the very youth who the dollars are directed toward.  My father was a white collar Production Manager,  at Boeing.  He used to jokingly refer to himself and his peers as pencil pushers.  It appears that pencil pushing at the state level are keeping these funds from doing the good they are intended to do.  Trusting that Jackie and her staff can get past this.
