From the transcript
If I may, I came into this a little bit late, but I wanted to add I concur this is not in the purview of what this committee's work is and it does make sense to me to have some sort of a vote that sort sort of an advisory vote saying we are not wanting to do this, and then maybe a letter accompanies our declaration or whatever it might be that says we understand that this is important to the state of Alaska. It doesn't meet our purview. We have voted on this. And it's because, you know, we all understand that when legislators and staff come in at the beginning of session, It is so convenient to have all this stuff thrown in at once. I appreciate where they are, but it's time, I guess, to make it clear that that's not— while that we appreciate that, it's— we hope that it's covered elsewhere by other means and more appropriate means of those who would be better suited to cover this sort of training.
