budget meeting

I was supposed to photograph this guy in his office (which is in danger of losing a considerable amount of funding if changes are made to the Niles budget), but he declined at the last minute because he didn't want it to seem like he was aggressively campaigning for his office to retain funding. However, during a budget "workshop" later that day, he stated the case for his office anyway, and I still got his photograph. Weird little turn of events.
