Thank you, Mr. Chairman. That’s good. I understand the process. I kind of like the process that you’re implementing with respect to giving the $15 million to the departments so they can plan, and I understand the timing on this.
I still think this is something that the Department of ITI could have done some forecasting on and done some planning on. They could have planned for it in the normal budget process, and they wouldn’t be coming back. They had $10 million in supp, which is for emergencies. Now we have $9.5 million for emergencies. Every time we whittle it down on something that should have been or could have been known, I think we’re hurting ourselves down the line just in case we have emergencies — a major forest fire year, losing a bridge here, losing a bridge there, any of those things — which is what that $10 million should be used for.
I do have one question, though. You said that ITI’s portion of that $15 million is $90,000. That seems a little low: $90,000 based on $15 million for ITI doesn’t seem very high.
