From the transcript
I know we have at least one amendment and we have a couple versions. So the intent with this is typically every year the Assembly passes a policy priorities resolution at some point in the budget process. We're trying to do it earlier than we did last year, and really, you know, not, not to necessarily to the level of put, you know, $300,000 in this particular line, but really broadly giving direction to the administration as they are actively in the budget process themselves with departments, you know, of what we would like to see, either asking for more information and/or, you know, putting forward some broad priorities or requests. So, so that's the spirit of this resolution. We did talk about it very briefly last month.
