grant. he is as farack, forward toward vicksburg as he can get, and none of these different approaches are working, to the west, to the north, to any other direction. what is grant going to do? is seventh operational level attempt, he will move down the west side of the mississippi river come across south of vicksburg and come up in the rear of vicksburg on the east. there are plenty of problems with that, lengthening supply lines, confederates if they come out of the fortress of vicksburg and fight you without supplies, that could be problematic. so there are a lot of problems with this. certainly not doing it by the book, this is breaking every rule in the book. and grant said later on, talking about the vicksburg campaign to newspaper editors, and he knows this is not going to be received highly in washington by halleck, , but once hethers crosses the river and starts into witt's work -- starts into vicksburg, you can see him counting on his fingers, if i send a message and tell them what

grant's father was a forceful feather, jesse grant -- a forceful fellow, jesse grant. he told ulysses that he was going to west point. ulysses said he did not want to that, and his father said, i guess you will. grant later said, i guess if he thought so, i would too. so he went to west point. he served in the mexican war with conspicuous courage in a number of battles. the problem for grant in battle was not a fear so much of getting shot at it. he was not like apocalypse smith in the war of 1812. he had been shot at a lot in the mexican war and had done a lot of very bold and brave things there. but it was being responsible, and this was something that got to a lot of people. brian mentioned joseph johnston, and that was certainly a problem for him. it bothered ulysses grant too and early in the war. very early in the war, grant was singleing only a regiment, the 21st illinois. he had an assignment to go to the town of florida, missouri and attack a confederate named harris. granta leads his regiment there and as he went, he said he became increasingly nervous, and h

, we are to do our best to fully fund the earlier grants before we take on new grants. so we will be having future discussions, because in the next year to two, we will be meeting, if we are to fund new grants, new rent stabilization grants, then we will be exceeding the $1 million. but that's a future discussion to have. >> so that introduces another question. so last year we had the $500,000 add back. when there's more money to distribute, i assume there's more administrative workload on o.s.b. staff. was that fair to say? >> not necessarily more money. so if it's the rent stabilization grant, if more money gets allocated, that's a pretty simple grant to administer, and not much time. that's involved with it. it's the business assistance grant that is more administratively cumbersome, because we have to work with each business that applies and work on their calculations of their equivalent full-time employees and make sure that that's accurate in terms of what they're reporting. so as we add more businesses to the registry, more businesses can apply for that grant. an

into one single block grant. overall, americans spend about $860 billion on k-12 education every year. last year congress appropriated about 24$24 billion of that. or roughly 2.5% of total education spending. and yet each year, teachers and school leaders spend more than 2 million hours complying with federal recordkeeping requirements for that small slice of the pie. 2 million hours. more than 83,000 days. teachers, administrators, and leaders need to work on people not paperwork. results, not regulation. different state wills invest their share dumpbtly and that's differntly and that's okay. in fact, that's what we hope they do. they can better figure out what their students need because they know their students. every student is unique and each one of them learns differently. every child needs the freedom to learn in places and ways that work for them. that's why the president's 2021 budget also renews the calls for an investment in american's students. our proposal is a dollar for dollar federal income tax cr

grant?he reason there wasn't is because the south did a much better job in the literary war than they did in the actual war. there were a lot of historians who were pro-south. who wrote histories that celebrated the south. one of the biggest strategies was to tear down grant and make grant look like a bad president, a butcher and a drunk and elevate robert lee as a saintly figure. grant got granted himself. he had amazing resources. but in the literary war, it was the south with the amazing resources, and of course, grant was a terrific general. the southern historians were all calculating writers as well. they overwhelmed grant's book. for decades, that book was one that writers respected and that readers liked, but in terms of defining grant as a general and president, it did not have the impact you would expect. it's only more recently they trueseen grant's reputation. if you are a president and you want to write a book that defends yourself, history says write a personal book instead. if

federal grant, state grants, private grants and some other miscellaneous revenue. and this total represents approximately 1% of our budget. just to summarize for our fiscal year 21 budget submission, the general fund operating budget will be for $616 million, the airport fund is for $102 million, general fund project based for $15 million. services to other departments, $6.7 million and special revenues and grants about $6.4 million for. there's an increase of 55 million $from last year to this year. the majority of those increases are attributeable to increases in personnel that the airport has requested and also some additional positions that have been added to the budget for civilianization and for some academy classes. sources of funding. this chart represents where the sources of our budget come from. the general fund makes up the largest component at 75 percent. state revenue represents about e airport contributes 14 percent at $100 million. interdepartmental services, these are work orders, that represents 3% at approximately $19 million, grants and other re

so we've been providing grants both technical assistance grants and direct grants such as in the panhandle of florida where we, where we had a million plus dollar grant for advanced welding. it's going to help them because their building schedules are getting way behind. why? because they keep getting hit by disaster after disaster. there just isn't enough skilled folks in the region to do this. so that's a very much growing area and we highly support that, senator. >> i was thinking back to your hearings for your confirmation, you being a fiscal conservative, were questioned whether a group of circle of fiscal conservatives of whether the government was a careful steward of taxpayer funds. how does your agency evaluate projects to determine if they are really a productive use of our taxpayer's money. >> great question. first of all, as an agency, we fight way above our weight class when it comes to how we deploy funds and what i mean by that is we also have a section of our agency that actually measures, particularly at three, six, and nine years, and mainly our construction projects, on

grant?t was because the south did a much better job in the literary world than they did in the civil war. there were a lot of historians who were pro-south. they wrote history that celebrated the south. they wanted to make granta look like a bad president, a butcher and a drunk and elevate reverently as saintly -- robert lee as saintly. in that literary work, it was the south with the amazing resources and grant was a terrific general. the southern historians were calculating writers as well. they overwhelmed grant's book. that book was one that writers are respected and that readers like but in terms of defining grant as a general and president, it did not have the effect expected. if you are a president and you want to write a book that defends yourself, history says book a personal instead. don't worry about the political debates or the battlefield, tell a personal story. >> there have been very successful grant biographies published. did they change anything? craig: william's did. also,

the eda disburses pre-disaster grants as well as post-disaster grants. how does the eda prioritize pre-disaster grants versus post-disaster recovery grants? >> i'll need to take that question for the record. i'm not in a position to make that distingction today but woud love the research and anl iealy and get back to you. >> okay. in 2017 after being hit by an economic disaster, puerto rico was devastated by hurricane maria. at the end of 2019 the island was struck by disaster in the form of multiple earthquakes. how the eda prioritize funding to ensure the fellow citizens receive relief as well as resiliency resources to rebuild effectively and quickly. >> i'm glad you asked that question because a lot of times there can be a little bit of confusion about whether we fit into the whole disaster recovery scheme. we're not first responders. we were not appropriated funds until well into 2018. weobligated $57 million to puerto rico. >> when will the money be spent in. >> it's up to the people o on the ground there in puerto rico. we make it available to the

such asttles are fought they are because grant is there. why is grant their? because the confederates made a huge mistake in september and that was sending long street to georgia. at the time it made perfect sense. shifting troops east to west is something a lot of confederate leaders and newspaper editors and generals have been saying we should have done a long time ago instead of going into pennsylvania and fighting at gettysburg. so that decision was bold. it was daring. but what kind of fruit does it bear? not the kind the confederates wanted. before long street left to go to georgia, he met with lee. it was a very emotional parting between those men. horseg street got on his to go, lee said you must beat those people out west and long street said, if i live. a singleld not give man in my command for a fruitless victory. it was.hat perhaps it would not have been if he had done things differently afterwards, but he didn't. let's take at facelet's take att face value what actually happened. who was sent to rescue the siege of chattanooga, grant who was basic

we have been working with a new grant writer to get health and finance grants. so she is engaged with our grant writer. as you can see from the picture, that's toby. we are going to have regular business now from therapy dogs coming to the stations. one of the things he's done with our training staff is, and i spoke to you a few meetings ago that we are analyzing the injury data of our department. we recognize 24% of our injuries in the department have relationship with apparatus, ambulances or trucks. and many are strains of ankles and so forth. so they put together a video we shared with the department called three points of contact. it's basically you have to have three points of contact when you enter or dismount an apparatus to save you from injuries. sometimes we are not careful and the streets are not always the best, so we can have issues. so we really focus on identifying the injuries coming up with programs and educational things that we can tell our members how to prepare and analyze that. so it's been a good start for her to come up. support services
