We 631 00:36:02,613 --> 00:36:03,347 are getting ready to head into 632 00:36:03,347 --> 00:36:06,947 our budget season and a couple 633 00:36:09,787 --> 00:36:11,550 months. One particular 634 00:36:11,550 --> 00:36:13,858 contract in this report drew 635 00:36:13,858 --> 00:36:15,260 my attention it was the 636 00:36:15,260 --> 00:36:17,260 Mueller communications 637 00:36:17,929 --> 00:36:19,929 contracts, $546,000 over over 638 00:36:19,964 --> 00:36:20,665 2 years for advocacy and 639 00:36:20,665 --> 00:36:23,665 support of a capital project 640 00:36:25,337 --> 00:36:26,505 being jcc it seems to me that 641 00:36:26,505 --> 00:36:29,508 if we if we have $546,000 to 642 00:36:29,508 --> 00:36:32,508 spent. To advocate to spend 643 00:36:33,845 --> 00:36:35,447 more money. Then we definitely 644 00:36:35,447 --> 00:36:36,348 should have enough money to 645 00:36:36,348 --> 00:36:39,348 fund the right to counsel 646 00:36:39,985 --> 00:36:41,119 program in this next budget 647 00:36:41,119 --> 00:36:43,122 last year, we funded that 648 00:36:43,122 --> 00:36:44,890 $100,000 a year before was 649 00:36:44,890 --> 00:36:45,691 250. I think probably get that 650 00:36:45,691 --> 00:36:48,427 up a little bit. So I'm going 651 00:36:48,427 --> 00:36:50,229 to be advocating hard for a 652 00:36:50,229 --> 00:36:51,630 program that has a 90% success 653 00:36:51,630 --> 00:36:54,630 rate.
