Anyone associated with funding acts exactly like this. It's an extreme waste but people have the mentality "if we don't take it and use it, then it won't look like we have the need. So, we won't get funding in the future."

When I taught part-time in the band program at our local high school, this is exactly what we dealt with every year. If we didn't use all the money we received and ask for just a little bit more, then cuts could be guaranteed for the next year.
