review all the package um of what was voted on tonight so anyone that would think that um she just got sworn and voted on no she she was sworn in um by the board secretary previously and um given the opportunity to review
everything for tonight's meeting and think that was important and a belated happy St Patrick's Day to everyone um and that's it for me I do have a question Senator were you the a board attorney when Mrs Ryan's mother or Uncle sat on there both you were yes and Grand
and Grand Bo ever had a different attorney I kind of thought he came with the building pretty much before this building was built um I just want to congratulate Mr ranelli on her retirement um I hope that Multicultural night stays I know my
daughter is going to be devastated when she hears the news um just on the budget touching on what um what Ken just said Mr cook just said um I know it is a lot of hard work uh you'll notice that in in our business administrator report we go into uh cooperatives and grants we're
constantly looking at other sources of money besides the state aid that's constantly getting cut or staying even and the uh the other option which is to continue to raise taxes so we're always trying to find other money and other means to be able to give all the resources that we can um I do want to
say congratulations everybody on the musical I was able to attend that it it was a great job as usual I went to the Saturday show I understand that there were some minor changes depending on which show you went to and and uh that made it interesting you uh we had a little bit of a Wonder
