From the transcript
Thank you for hearing this today. My name is Tim Powers. I'm the Chief Technology and Outreach Officer for Legislative Affairs Agency. I'm presenting today a contract with KTOO, who has provided longstanding public service in broadcast of the legislature by means of gavel-to-gavel coverage of the House and Senate floor sessions and committee meetings. They are essential for transparency for the legislature, for the public in this state, and due to the loss of federal funding last year, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting cut, KTO approached the legislature to secure funding to provide this service continuing.
