I guess, specifically it is frustrating to me to see a shift in priorities.
Do you have the procedures in place so that it does not get any worse that it already is today?
And shouldn't a sovereign entity do what is best for them on their lands rather than having our budget dictate to them?
Would you agree with that, that that is the main purpose of the BIA?
Certainly I have concerns with the fish and wildlife protections and the funding levels that those are at.
I would like to see a detail of all of that.
You know, we took a bond--were you still there when we voted on that in the legislature? We voted on it at the legislature. At the time, $9....
But that is what we are doing right now today. As other states give up money, we're trying to grab that money.
I believe--it's my belief--that the American people expect the ridership numbers to pencil out, so that it's not an ongoing subsidy.
We cannot afford any further slip in the timeline, and we cannot afford any added cost.
I would like to take a look at the entire plan and have that available to our committee.
