Tyrone, answer B is not the most helpful in supporting the claim made in the letter. Even if there has been a dramatic reduction in overtime pay, there may be an equally or even more dramatic increase in other areas of the budget.
The claim is: it is not true that the department now spends 5x as much money as in 2001 to do the same amount of work. So the most helpful evidence would be anything that shows that the department does more work than in 2001, commensurate to the expansion in budget.
