Possible Bad News

Last night, a co-worker of mine called me and told me about a meeting our boss had with one of the judges in our courthouse. As it stands now, the courthouse expects to be up and running by next month. Whether our office will be functioning is a different story. We are still struggling for money to pay people. Well my boss asked the judge to consider having only four sections of court running because he only expects to have four prosecutors working(there is a total of 12 sections plus 5 sections of magistrate court). The judge told him he needed to have a prosecutor in all sections of court because all will be functioning. The part about four prosecutors made me think that he is cutting far more than what I anticipated. There is a total of at least 90 prosecutors which indicates how large our dockets once were. But for him to want to reduce it to only four just doesn't seem to be the best thing to me. He would have to have at least one prosecutor in each section of court; not to mention our appeals, juvenile, and screening divisions. All of those divisions needs prosecutors. I guess I am upset because my job is the only thing that I have connecting me to the city. Not to mention, my friend expects to go back there eventually as well. Now I am beginning to think he and I will be separated after all. Everytime I think I am taking a step forward, it always seems to be five steps backwards. I guess I just need to figure what to do next despite what my boss does.
