I have never dealt with a budget that I have not been able to find ways to reduce the spending.
[edit]The following good quote has gotten removed from the article:
Otis has said: "I have never dealt with a budget that I have not been able to find ways to reduce the spending."[1]

I liked the quote and think Otis did too, else it wouldn't have been on his official bio. It is funny in a Yogi Berra way, and it expresses some fundamental truth about budgets.
Perhaps someone thought the quote did not reflect well upon Otis? I think it was just fine. I don't know enough about Otis to say more, like is done in the Yogi Berra article:
He was known for his malapropisms as well as pithy and paradoxical statements, such as "It ain't over 'til it's over", while speaking to reporters. He once simultaneously denied and confirmed his reputation by stating, "I really didn't say everything I said."[1][2]

Any other opinions, about restoring it? --doncram 22:56, 31 December 2016 (UTC)
- A similar quote which is in the current article is:
Otis said, "I think the direction of the Republican Central Committee is not where the majority of this county is, among Republican voters."[1]
