First Senate Offer Page 1
You will find the first Senate offer pg. 1:
|
Total Workforce fund was originally $366,903,660 in the Senate offer, their current offer is $366,340,160. The Senate offer does not include any performance incentive money, nor does it roll over the SIS funds.
Please email the representatives on the committee and ask them to maintain their position on the performance funding and the rollover of the SIS. This needs to be done ASAP, as they will be reconvening at 8:30 in the morning.
As a result of the compromise between the Leadership the allocation for the Higher Education committee was reduced by 22 million.
