For me education is everything if we really want to eliminate disparities if we're having kids who are reading at a lesser rate doing math at a lower rate we will never eliminate disparities.

This line of business in particular, uh, is so much rooted in our philosophy of prevention and like an ounce of prevention pays dividends in so many of the other lines of business.

I don't say that lightly. We know that this is a year where many governments, universities, school organizations, businesses are not willing to say the word equity, are not willing to follow the data and the numbers.

Fiduciary fund activities are not budgeted, resulting in a decrease of $8 million in revenue and expenditures from the 2025 adjusted climate and resiliency budget. This accounting change has no impact on minpay services which continue to be supported by climate and resiliency. It also does not reflect reduced investment in our climate and resiliency initiatives. It is strictly an accounting correction.

Anything that takes our community from healthy to unhealthy is not something that should be on the chopping block, right? It should be like a push to keep people wellfed. To me, climate and resiliency is how we do that among a host of other things, but it's a very important key part.

We're cutting how we help people get jobs. How are we meeting that so that we're helping residents um meet that moment? Because what I see happening is we're saying we're going to we want you to do this work requirement for the federal government, but we're taking away all your supports to meet that demand.

We should really have a conversation all three entities, which I know what that'll look like, but that's too bad. If we're going to talk about community engagement, we need to stop with the silos.
