Thinking about it a bit more, it makes sense to address the other things first - it might be a situation where once you look at it the only real answer may be bankruptcy.

There's already not enough money for the police to come when there's a car up on blocks in a parallel parking spot which had perfectly good rims and tires the night before, requiring folks to go down to the station, wait for half a day, and file their report and the officer is never, ever sent out. More cuts would just continue to ensure what I already don't get.
