Every Tuesday through Friday there are meetings at 7 a.m. for various groups, some of which duplicate. The chair of appropriations and I attended all the meetings to make sure any questions were answered and the process was understood. Two evening meetings were also held for the same purpose. We have to get at least 51 yes votes but 67 would be better.
