Here's bit of information that y'all might find interesting:

DPS budget (entire deparment):
  • 2003 actual - $593 million
    2004 actual - 542
    2005 budgeted - 443
    2006-2007 requested - 1,112
    2006-2007 recommended - 847
The last two lines are for two-year periods, so the last one is 423 million per year.

In other words, over a five-year period, the DPS budget has been cut 29%.

That has to mean a lot of attrition to reduce personnel costs, and no money for new equipment.

What I can't find is how much DPS takes in in fees. It would be interesting to know whether they are a net revenue generator.
