• Aim High• The Devil is in the details.• Anything that is not under your control, check twice. • Revisions are your friend.• Have a back-up plan.• How much is a good contingency in a budget?• You can only spend your budget balance carry-forward
once.• Be consistent.• Never second guess the legislature.• Don’t ever cut copy paper, toilet paper, or pencil budgets.• Never assume anything.• Brevity is the Soul of Wit.
