"I found some alarming discrepancies, and really.. it's no wonder we've been having resourcing issues." Poorly allocated funds, was definitely not helping their case. In addition to resource management, her employees were likely big-headed from making more money than they were worth. "I'm proposing salary cuts to rectify the issue, I wanted to get your thoughts before enacting them." And bring it to his attention in general. Perhaps MLE weren't the only ones overspending, something to think about. Emily slid a sheet of parchment along the table to him, the figures spoke for themselves. Cuts to every division in the MLE, as well as a substantial cut to her own salary. After all, it was wildly uncouth to earn more than the Minister himself.

Albert was eager to take the parchment from her, especially when Ms. Browne relayed that she had found discrepancies. It was as they suspected, really, and one of the key reasons he needed her in place. His eyes roved the page, taking in the tidy columns that shared all sorts of un-tidy secrets with him. Yes, that was alarming.

"Salary cuts are approved, and I want you to put a strict kibosh on all unnecessary spending. We're digging ourselves into a hole, especially with all the repairs that will be required following the mutant incidents." Which, it so happened, was coming out of A&C's budget for 2083. He hadn't broken that to Aron just yet. "In fact, see if you can't get YATI to do some repair work as part of their training exercises. Free labor."
