Notable Quotes (3)
The governor proposal to reduce the aquatic invasive species funding by 50%... is quite concerning from our perspective because our aquatic invasive species Aid... is the only funding source that we have.
I think we have portions of it that's from 1985 and they're still working on a green screen so... hoping to get that changed.
It seems to me that you would want to know... what happens to these requests that come in... I don't know whether there's ones that are project worthy but either we don't have the time or the money.
