1
00:00:23,946 --> 00:00:24,547
Senator nozzolio and I have been

2
00:00:24,547 --> 00:00:26,615
meeting on a regular basis to

3
00:00:26,615 --> 00:00:28,484
try and make an agreement on

4
00:00:28,484 --> 00:00:30,419
some of these difficult and

5
00:00:30,419 --> 00:00:31,119
thorny issues that we face in

6
00:00:31,119 --> 00:00:33,119
this budget.

7
00:00:33,722 --> 00:00:36,358
And not unlike what's going on

8
00:00:36,358 --> 00:00:38,758
upstairs at the general

9
00:00:38,894 --> 00:00:41,960
conference committee, we have

10
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:42,530
been -- we have been

11
00:00:42,530 --> 00:00:44,930
sometimeyed, and sometime we

12
00:00:45,433 --> 00:00:47,468
have been successful and perhaps

13
00:00:47,468 --> 00:00:49,370
able to agree on a lot of issues

14
00:00:49,370 --> 00:00:52,473
but at this time, we're not

15
00:00:52,473 --> 00:00:54,175
prepared to go forward with a

16
00:00:54,175 --> 00:00:55,576
full agreement on the many

17
00:00:55,576 --> 00:00:57,545
issues especially the financial

18
00:00:57,545 --> 00:01:00,448
ones that are out there.

19
00:01:00,448 --> 00:01:01,115
Given the fact that the general

20
00:01:01,115 --> 00:01:03,515
conference committee has not

21
00:01:03,817 --> 00:01:07,417
been able to agree on certain

22
00:01:08,689 --> 00:01:10,791
factors that would affect the

23
00:01:10,791 --> 00:01:12,726
trajectory of -- and thrust of

24
00:01:12,726 --> 00:01:13,527
this public protection

25
00:01:13,527 --> 00:01:15,527
conference committee.

26
00:01:16,463 --> 00:01:18,698
So, what I'm saying is in final

27
00:01:18,698 --> 00:01:22,168
analysis, we're going to have to

28
00:01:22,168 --> 00:01:24,437
expect even harder work from the

29
00:01:24,437 --> 00:01:27,437
staffs, who have been working

30
00:01:35,548 --> 00:01:37,850
tirelessly, I have to say, in

31
00:01:37,850 --> 00:01:38,918
agreements to us that are

32
00:01:38,918 --> 00:01:40,319
palatable so we can close our

33
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:42,721
table but we're not ready yet to

34
00:01:42,721 --> 00:01:43,956
stay let the conference

35
00:01:43,956 --> 00:01:45,724
committee decide.

36
00:01:45,724 --> 00:01:46,525
We believe we've been able to do

37
00:01:46,525 --> 00:01:48,525
in the past.

38
00:01:48,961 --> 00:01:50,696
Senator nozzolio and his

39
00:01:50,696 --> 00:01:52,431
senators, and our assembly

40
00:01:52,431 --> 00:01:56,310
members, have been able to make

41
00:01:56,801 --> 00:01:58,503
an agreement that is capable of

42
00:01:58,503 --> 00:01:59,571
being delivered to the general

43
00:01:59,571 --> 00:02:00,772
conference committee, and have a

44
00:02:00,772 --> 00:02:02,772
budget on time.

45
00:02:04,442 --> 00:02:06,811
And I expect and I encourage the

46
00:02:06,811 --> 00:02:09,380
staffs to work even harder than

47
00:02:09,380 --> 00:02:13,651
they have in the past so that we

48
00:02:13,651 --> 00:02:18,289
can be in a position to have a

49
00:02:18,289 --> 00:02:20,570
budget by friday, in print, the

50
00:02:20,570 --> 00:02:22,570
public protection enclosed

51
00:02:24,862 --> 00:02:26,130
therein, and be able to pass a

52
00:02:26,130 --> 00:02:26,430
complete budget on monday.

53
00:02:26,430 --> 00:02:28,430
Senator nos.

54
00:02:28,565 --> 00:02:30,565
>> thank you, senator.

55
00:02:31,101 --> 00:02:32,369
I wish to thank our staffs on

56
00:02:32,369 --> 00:02:33,637
both sides of the aisle

57
00:02:33,637 --> 00:02:35,906
especially the staff that I have

58
00:02:35,906 --> 00:02:38,906
the privilege of working with,

59
00:02:39,342 --> 00:02:42,545
that we have made it a point to

60
00:02:42,545 --> 00:02:44,470
them that unless we can get

61
00:02:44,470 --> 00:02:46,447
agreement, immediately, that we

62
00:02:47,216 --> 00:02:49,786
want you to continue to work

63
00:02:49,786 --> 00:02:50,887
toward that objective that

64
00:02:50,887 --> 00:02:52,555
heretofor the conference

65
00:02:52,555 --> 00:02:55,555
committees have sort of closed

66
00:02:55,725 --> 00:02:59,325
down as soon as there wasn't

67
00:02:59,495 --> 00:03:03,650
agreement on most issues, and in

68
00:03:03,650 --> 00:03:04,660
effect, we're not willing to.

69
00:03:04,660 --> 00:03:05,334
Don't we'll continue our

70
00:03:05,334 --> 00:03:07,503
discussions and we're asking our

71
00:03:07,503 --> 00:03:09,871
staff to continue discussing the

72
00:03:09,871 --> 00:03:10,138
issues that we have placed as

73
00:03:10,138 --> 00:03:11,940
priority.

74
00:03:11,940 --> 00:03:13,241
I would like to indicate we do

75
00:03:13,241 --> 00:03:15,410
have a agreement on I would say

76
00:03:15,410 --> 00:03:18,410
the vast majority of issues,

77
00:03:18,513 --> 00:03:19,681
but, there are still very

78
00:03:19,681 --> 00:03:21,681
important questions, questions

79
00:03:22,517 --> 00:03:23,718
that members have raised at the

80
00:03:23,718 --> 00:03:25,687
last meeting senator little and

81
00:03:25,687 --> 00:03:26,854
I have discussed the issue of

82
00:03:26,854 --> 00:03:28,854
prison closures.

83
00:03:29,230 --> 00:03:32,623
We want our staffs to keep

84
00:03:34,895 --> 00:03:35,696
working with us, to try to find

85
00:03:35,696 --> 00:03:37,231
agreements, and we're not

86
00:03:37,231 --> 00:03:37,431
willing to give up at this

87
00:03:37,431 --> 00:03:39,166
point.

88
00:03:39,166 --> 00:03:41,268
We think that we still have some

89
00:03:41,268 --> 00:03:44,371
time, and we're going to take

90
00:03:44,371 --> 00:03:46,273
that time and utilize it to try

91
00:03:46,273 --> 00:03:47,941
to focus on our issues and get

92
00:03:47,941 --> 00:03:49,941
them resolved.

93
00:03:50,410 --> 00:03:52,112
With that, are there any other

94
00:03:52,112 --> 00:03:54,512
members of the subcommittee

95
00:03:59,352 --> 00:04:01,921
wishing to discuss any issues?

96
00:04:01,921 --> 00:04:04,321
Hearing none, assemblyman lentol

97
00:04:05,391 --> 00:04:07,393
I move this committee come as an

98
00:04:07,393 --> 00:04:08,995
adjourned meeting until it is

99
00:04:08,995 --> 00:04:11,395
recalled by the chairs.

100
00:04:12,898 --> 00:04:14,900
>> yes, I concur in that and

101
00:04:14,900 --> 00:04:17,736
again, staffs will report to us

102
00:04:17,736 --> 00:04:19,238
on a regular basis about their

103
00:04:19,238 --> 00:04:20,839
progress, and I expect that

104
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:21,273
we'll have another meeting soon.

105
00:04:21,273 --> 00:04:23,273
Thank you.
