"Our budget is flat. It's been flat for the last three years. Salaries have increased over that time, but materials and services have been flat. Actually, they've been cut so [overall] we're flat. We've had to cut services that we used to have for our [county workers]. If they want a printer, we have to tell them they'll have to fork over [money] themselves. I'd want to add to our ERP system, but we can't afford it."

- Tom Frey, deputy director of the information technology department for Marion County of Oregon, Salem, Ore.
