and of we get to grant. grant figures this out. so one of the things to keep in mind is that lincoln whether he became too or less involved or got the bowl of porridge, that was just right lincoln's marriage edged toward that position a course of time, i think in a world lincoln would have said, we need to hold the union together. i'm going to make a hard policy, have that happen, general, execute and he learned in the very early in 1861 and then continue usefully throughout the war that these things are inextricably. and so its strategy and policy working together and the fact that there's no for that meant that lincoln to figure it out as he went along and he did. he absolutely did better than as t henry william is famously said better than any of his generals. i have written a book about lincoln and his relationship with his navy leaders, lincoln and the admirals. and you see it there really. lincoln would have liked to say, look, i know little about ships. don't know you know pointy and front is that the way this works? i'm not

no, not for the large grant. really? the grant that's at issue. the grant to help buy the building in chinatown. no, she was not interviewing at that point at all. it's the little $3,000 grant from earlier this year in response to the winter storms that she had been interviewing at that moment in time. yes, there are two grants at issue. one is the storm relief grant, which was fully conceived of and awarded this year, well within the 12 month period, if i could just briefly comment on the buffer period, staff believes the code is very clear that the buffer is intended to be between the time the contract is executed and entered into and 12 months beyond that. that's because the buffer is to be between the time that the prospective employer is receiving the benefit at the contract and the time that they could then hire the person who helped award that contract. i think it's very important that the part of the commission's understanding and just on the constitutional issue, i understand that. i mean, i think we take these waiver requests very seriou

may now have grants challenged whether or not this grants were not awarded to somebody else. huge mess and it could have all been avoided and what drives you as the gentleman has said it could have been even 2.5 months fixing the problem which is pretty easy. instead we have a year and a half. this is a big cow pie in the field and they stepped in it and it's fun and games until two weeks ago. >> thank you everyone. [inaudible conversations]

this is a new grant agreement with the community music center, new 4 year grant agreement for their neighborhoode program. this is new with them but worked with them for a couple years now. they have been wonderful to work with. this is a very popular program and this is also been studied and the subject of community voices study by ucsf demonstrating the impact it had on program participants. at the core this grant supports the operation of 15 distinct neighborhood choirs leading through practice, scheduling regular performance and coordinating one large gacktering. i think one thing i want to highlight is the lens community music center looks through when they work with these programs and paraphrasing. they say quhoo is the community and what is the music that has the most meaning to them. through that lens and process they are able to get a choir director and staff invested in and reflecting that community and a repertoire and participants really engaged and have real meaning in the music they are performing. some of the most obvious ways that that sort of demonstrates itself is through bilin

no, not for the large grant. really? the grant that's at issue.the grant to help buy the building in chinatown. no, she was not interviewing at that point at all. it's the little $3,000 grant from earlier this year in response to the winter storms that she had been interviewing at that moment in time. yes, there are two grants at issue. one is the storm relief grant, which was fully conceived of and awarded this year, well within the 12 month period, if i could just briefly comment on the buffer period, staff believes the code is very clear that the buffer is intended to be between the time the contract is executed and entered into and 12 months beyond that. that's because the buffer is to be between the time that the prospective employer is receiving the benefit at the contract and the time that they could then hire the person who helped award that contract. i think it's very important that the part of the commission's understanding and just on the constitutional issue, i understand that. i mean, i think we take these waiver requests very serious

who were vying for the grant may now have grounds to challenge whether or not those grants were not awarded to them and awarded to somebody else. it is a huge mess at all could have been avoided. what drives you crazy as the chairwoman has said. could have been 2 and a half months, could have been 2 and a half months of fixing the problems which is pretty easy. instead we have a year and 1/2. a big cow pie in the field and they stomped in it and acted like it was fun and games until two weeks ago. >> thank you, everyone.

grants. how do you overseeing the reporting on the use of those funds? watch reports, financial documents, does the eac require of states? and what types of issues does the eac look for in its review, and you're going through the reports and documents? >> thank, you senator fischer. the eac requires completion of the federal financial reports. no less than twice a year, with a recent amount of money that was provided for quarterly reports. we require all states who have received grants to fill out those reports to us. those grants teams look for incompletion on those reports. they look for possible increases in funding that seem odd. we also look for whether there are any uses of the money that are disallowed under havre. we look for insufficient information about what they're doing. there's a number of issues, a checklist of issues we look at. and we communicate those concerns to the jurisdiction. we give them a chance to update and correct their financial reports. but we also do follow up w

received the grants incorporate bicycle and transit infrastructure. i want to ensure the dot is not letting a political agenda from letting states like mine giving much-needed grants. according to your budget d.o.t. expects to pay 70 million for rent and utilities in 24 in addition to expenses for maintenance and repairs of its headquarters. given your current telework policy in the 20% office vacancy rate in d.c. i have concerns this world-class space is not being utilized by 5000 d.o.t. headquarter staff. what is your headquarter building current capacity rate and how does that compare to what it was before the pandemic? >> without having the numbers off the top of my head it is certainly the case there are fewer people in the building then there where pre-pandemic. while i would note the majority of our workers across u.s. dot are in work environments from truck inspection is a least air-traffic control settings where removal work is not an option for the office jobs telework has become an important dimension of how they work. while i think we stil

they created, instead, this sort of slush funds for grants. now, there's nothing new in a lot the expressly prohibits such a thing. this is sort of been the tradition of decades, of administrations, republican and democrat alike. to take the absence of a prohibition in a law that authorizes certain things as a license to do whatever is not prohibited. but i want to speak to two really big recent supreme court cases that you think that major questions doctrine, stating emphatically that agencies don't have authority that isn't given to them in law. and that, of course, the first one being west virginia versus epa, and the other one being the -- rule. they will take up a -- doctrine, as you will see how that turns out. , so i just think it's becoming increasingly clear that bureaucracy is not the fourth branch of government. i policymakers. first of all, and i want to ask you, what's your sense of the actual authority to do these things but secondly, again, i want to stress that it's impractical in places, rural places, especially. we just aren'

inner city rail grants, capital investment grants and phasing out the grants of the national rail passenger service corporation. so these cuts is real. not just spec you laying. so if you could answer these questions. secretary buttigieg: eliminating a program like rays hundreds of communities would miss out on the improvements that benefit everything from supply chains to physical safety of travelers. i could point to every part of the country. we give more even at the robust funding levels we have. we get more demand than we can meet and we know communities have a need. it would be a terrible loss i think to not have the opportunity to help that need. with regard to amtrak, the budget request, $3.1 billion to fund base operating capital and debt service requirement this is in advance to the appropriations, without them that would have an impact in delaying amtrak's progress in dealing with the maintenance backlog and folks, whether they are traveling intercity or amtrak is their daily commute would feel that and face the cost and burden of that. and when the moment is focused on the safet

grants, and what your process for refocusing on outcomes, expediting review and defending some grants and doubling down on other? >> thank you for the question, mr. checker we're looking at all of the sub grants have been awarded over the years. there are some some grants that have yielded positive outcomes. weevil look at continue those that we are not automatically renewing acid in some automatic renewals and pass. we are also looking at the program management costs by consolidating the tanf program into department of human services, working with the county offices that we have in every county across the state. we are also reducing the administered cost to oversee the program and the financial controls necessary. >> thank you for that. i'd yield to ranking member davis. >> thank you again, mr. chairman. ms. nyandoro, i'm appalled that many states have chosen to hoard roughly $6 billion in tanf, rather than spend these funds as intended to help poor families with children. could you talk about the disconnect between the ability for these families and individuals who receive tanf bene

how the grant project is moving at all. stages so let's repeat.n thing in the budget for the next year there will be a new grant support program for teams folk and folk art, its size is 100 million rubles. not only professional, but also amateur teams can participate in it. there are still questions. if you want to learn more about measures to support culture, write to us on telegram and send your questions. we will contact the experts about everything and tell all of africa in the next editions of our instructions, the first such powerful breakthrough, when we take responsibility for the souls of one and 3 billion people, we are interested in the fact that those who live here in masali. orthodox it local temple and the service will begin soon. orthodox christian found a new life. today i am an orthodox priest under the patriarchy of moscow. i am very happy that the greek church has departed from this and the divine law, the russian orthodox church follows the righteous path. and now we support it. the family is such a big international noisy inte

are grant programs?as familiar with it and knew how it is done. i learned about the grant program, there is work. last year in the summer, but not enough i have some doubts because this is, well, it’s serious, for this you need to open an fop, uh, then you need to hire employees . that is, it’s a little different process, it’s not just a hobby , it’s already work and serious work. well, that’s what i thought and thought. we spent the winter when i already started processing lavender last year, and when i managed to process it, i saw that it really works and that you can invest in it . in winter, in february, i wrote a business plan myself, but the calculations specialists helped me to do this, because the numbers are also very, very serious . that's how i applied for e-e. i applied in action. very simple, very easy in 10 minutes. mail that my application has been considered, but i still need to go through an interview with the employment center, who exactly manages all these grants. i had an online meeti

>> green light grant initiative.an you make the lives matter, be a bsa bill passed 32 days later. really first time in 30 years. here we are a year later, what we found is that while the supply -- the granted money is there, there's not enough schools applying, there's not enough schools even aware that they should apply or if they are aware they don't know how to apply. they don't have the resources to apply. they don't have the expertise. applying for these grants is extremely complicated and can be extremely expensive in a lot of these high need areas that need the support don't have the resources to get it. the superintendent that's supposed to fill out the grants is wearing three hats, four hats. they don't have the money to hire a grant writer. >> now we have a solution. >> what we're doing with the green lights grant initiative. we're offering to connect these districts. these leas to that federally funded, these federally funded grant money. we are making -- we are streamlining the process. we are going to pa

um we plan to use these grant allocations to meet current demand.and we do not anticipate any impact on services. ah! and so we would like to request that you ask commission approved these allocations and the enclosed draft contract in your packet, including all subsequent amendments that, um may happen throughout the course of the fiscal year. okay, great. thank you so much. are there any comments or questions from commission on the packet? rule one, given what we heard from a federal perspective and what might happen. maybe this is work . kelly do we? this baseline is firm or could the subsequent amendments be in the negative? that's what i'm trying to do understand? so it's a it's a great question. um c d a has informed us that the federal awards are dependent on the federal budget process, and still we will. be learning from the c d a later on this year about what happens and we will report back any changes to the commission. all right. so it remains to be seen. okay this is what it is for now, okay? um anything else from other any comments or q

a special factor for receiving a grant is the absence of tax debts.o when you have already made a positive decision on receiving a grant, of course , the savings bank acts as an intermediary, that is, it acts as a bank through which funds are transferred to a grant recipient business of the chernivtsi region under the program her work received assistance of uah 8 million with these funds, the company covered its expenses and expanded, it managed to employ almost half a thousand people, humenna yuriy radolyak has details, the inter-marathon tv channel, the only news, animals are also refugees, and often they how people need housing, especially if four-legged friends have suffered due to hostilities since the first day of the full-scale invasion, actor oleksiy surovtsev did not take everything to save cats, he dreamed of opening a boiler house, as he himself says, wherever animals are comfortable and safe and not which did not remind our film crew of the war i saw how the dream of an actor and animal rights activist came to life. i never in my life woul

how the grant project is moving at all. we repeat, the main thing in the budget for the next year there will be a new grant support program for groups of folk and folk art, its size is 100 million rubles. not only professional, but also amateur teams can participate in it. there are still questions. if you want to learn more about cultural support measures, write to us on telegram and send your questions. we will contact the experts about everything we will tell in the next editions of our instructions. this is the hulk with whom, as i said, i had to meet for the first time, which led me to a stupor. now it is a working machine, and ruki is called stas also, as it was the first chechens. also now, as if it had not been 30 years again, if my brothers leave, how can i leave them one covers the other the third helps the fourth. satellites touched fly. that is, when i served the cell phone there was none at the moment trofimov social networks, arrived officially launched in advance became famous. well, or at least the infamous

the grant is awarded and through oversight while the grant funds are being expended? >> we have a competitive process that requires -- all these requests we receive. to my knowledge we don't have any projects that have been submitted twice and have received funding more than once. i will go back and check but my understanding is because of the process -- proof process we have it is not the case. >> is there a checklist or some other mechanism by which oia staff verifies there is no wasteful duplication? >> my understanding is we have a checklist we follow. >> who ultimately at oia is accountable for preventing waste fraud and abuse? who at oia is accountable for preventing waste fraud and abuse in terms of the money you are appropriated for these kind of programs? >> we all follow all the rules and i am responsible for making sure my stuff follows all the rules and procedures. >> a couple more questions per die wanted to ask about the indian land consolidation program in the budget request for purchasing highly functional land. i have here are the department testified

we will have grant writers that will write some of the grants for the highest risk schools.a competitive grant. the website always gonna live there for any information you're gonna need. every school in america can go there and see the information they need to know the whens and hows to file these grants. >> schools need to apply for this grant money because it's a use it or lose it situation, right? >> yes. it's not around. i just learned this. if we don't use this money, if this money isn't allocated responsibly to the schools in america, billions of dollars. if it's not allocated now, it will most likely be redistributed in 2026. it is use it or lose it. the money is not there forever. here's the good thing. if we use it now, it tells the federal government that the demand is there and the need is there and that it's working and that it can be refunded. instead of the money going away. that's our hope, to spend it wisely now, which we all want to, the government and the schools and every american wants to. if we spend it wisely now, it has the possibility of being refunde

to submit an application, they give money from 250 to 500,000 uah for one enterprise - these are grants, that is, this is irreversible assistance, and now we will talk with timofey brik, rector of the kyiv school of economics, we will talk about economic education p timofia, i congratulate you good morning. i understand that the kyiv school of economics is our favorite economic university . your experts are regular guests of our programs, but let's talk today in general not only about your university, but about economic education in ukraine, where economists are trained in ukraine how to choose a university . what should be the criteria, what should those who want to become an economist look at? look , anyway, i will praise my university . the shopping center has been invited if there is serious research and they say approximately the following what in ukraine, on average, compared to other countries, is better access to universities, that is, we have universities, people go there, you can go to the website osvita.ua to see the rating of these universities, but also studies say that peo

grant said, well, he didn't write it.he was fiscally strict, put this nation back on the gold standard. the greenback era of the civil war. my favorite description and one that i thought was not a bad model, it's for those who would pursue public responsibilities was said a grant could just as easily been said of coolidge. shelby foote. there was no nonsense in him, no sentiment, just a plain business man of the republic. now that's not a bad goal to shoot for. it seems to me and nobody embodied more than our 30th president. so. i would say to everybody of every here, but especially to the young people, it looks like the country's got some troubles. agree it does, but we should never surrender to the idea that we can't overcome those. paul johnson wrote there are no inevitabilities in history and even though from its founding it was clear to those who created this nation of freedom that this was an iffy prospect. the language on the first coinage of the early republic said exit though and do boast it means the outcome is

from 250 to 500,000 uah for one enterprise - these are grants., this is irreversible aid. well, now let's talk with tymofiy brik, the rector of the kyiv school of economics. this is our favorite economic university . your experts are regular guests of our programs, but today, in general , we will talk not only about your university, but about economic education in ukraine, where economists are trained in how to choose a university in ukraine what should be the criteria, what should those who want to become an economist look at well, look anyway, i will praise my university and they invited me if there is a serious study and they say approximately next what in ukraine, on average , compared to other countries, better access to universities, that is, we have universities , people go there, you can go to the website osvita.ua to see the rating of these universities , but also studies say that people are very often dissatisfied with the quality of education, that is you can enter, but how exactly to study there - it depends. i think it is a big probl

the amounts vary from 250,000 to a million hryvnias, and the conditions for granting the grant are different they have the opportunity to receive up to a million hryvnias of e-e assistance if they have financial plans if they have an entrepreneurial idea, they simply go into action, submit an application for a grant, pass a bank interview at an employment center, receive these funds, the ministry of economy also includes partners in the program foreign and ukrainian organizations signed memoranda, they will help develop the veteran business technically, organizationally and expertly. today we were with our partners . the kyiv school of economics is in the public space. they will help our veterans write business plans. to implement their business idea, because sometimes there are cool ideas, but there is not enough knowledge or skills to write a more-plan in order to confidently pass an interview at a bank or in an employment center precisely so that everyone who has ideas were able to start their own business in general and not the economy received applications for almost 200 projects of vet

there are some of grants that have yielded positive outcomes. we will look at continuing those were not automatically renewing. their vent automatic renewals in the past. we are also looking program managementls cost. by consolidating into the department of human services work with our county offices that we have in every countyta across the state we are also reducing the administrative cost over to the program and financial controls necessary. >> thank you for that i yield to ranking member davis. >> think again mr. chairman. c i am appalled many states have chosen to forward $6 billion in tanf rather than spend these funds as intended to help poor families with children. could you talk about the disconnect between the ability for these families and individuals to receive tanf benefits in the state of mississippi? >> yes, thank you for that question. so, i am sitting here in i have this visual of a band-aid tanf over a geyser i feel like this is the conversation we are having. right now as it relates to tanf. we are talking about a band-aid ove

it has been granted the twitter killer and they look alike. who carved his and his girlfriend's name into the coliseum has sent an apology letter to the mayor of rome. the 27—year—old said he did not realise how old the building was when he did it. last up, ten seconds of okapis they are rare and usually only found in central africa but this okapi was born at chested zoo. her keepass as she shows a lot of personality already. you were all caught up now. see you. and millions have to twitter and millions have already signed up. it has been granted the twitter killer and already signed up. it has been granted t on twitter killer and already signed up. it has been granted t on the :er killer and already signed up. it has been granted t on the ashes er and until now on the ashes sidelines make the headlines on day one of the third test. and the two favourites to the fore, how one previous champion beat another to take the tour de france yellow jersey.

including a most recent grant, a new health grant, eco health alliance that was involved.ed the research at wuhan lab in china. these people were not properly appointed. the abuse of power not only during covid-19 and the pandemic, but the abuse of power by people that are not -- in these positions. >> dana: how far back does it go? >> it goes back to december of 2021. so it is the last -- since december 2021, these individuals were to be reappointed. this is an accountability measure that was put into the law by congress in 21st century cures because we believed it was important that these individuals be held accountable. in this case secretary has not been -- he has not been health and human services, public health agencies have not been accountable to congress across the board. they lied to us in early 2022. nih lied and said they made the appointments, couldn't produce the documents. then they produced this misleading chart again that was not accurate and then he just recently retroactively made these appointments but it raises a lot of questions because dr. fauci, dr.

coming up next, grant. >> thank you, brittany. bay area news. all charges have been dropped against the 2 people arrested in connection with last weekend's carjacking and stunning crash in san francisco. surveillance video captured the stolen car plummeting here down the sanchez street stairs and the castro landing on that tree. and then car lands on its roof. police arrested 2 suspects involved. they say jennifer, bottom end, leslie or i'm sorry. kevin nelson, they were arrested tuesday. but today the district attorney's office told a crowd for the pair's been discharged pending further investigation and witness availability. prosecutors could refile the charges at a later date, though. it is not clear what additional evidence they would need to do. so. a pacific. a man accused of stabbing a woman to death and then posting on facebook video of her final minutes alive was in a redwood city courtroom today as kron four's dan kerman tells us while a motive remains unclear. the suspect faces murder charges. 39 year-old mark mentioned cough made his

it is a broad grant of authority from congress. there is also a very broad grant of authority in the higher education act which talks about the secretary having the ability to settle or compromise debt. i think even the supreme court would say this doctrine is evolving. it was something invented very recently and has already changed in our view in this opinion compared to the last opinion came up. from where it stands now, we think the settlement and compromise pathway is going to be a valid pathway that conforms with the major questions doctrine issue that the court raised today. >> do you think it continues to raise obstacles going forward? >> even when congress speaks clearly about what the executive branch can and can't do. we have to take that at face value and as we evaluate the availability of certain administrative actions going forward, we will have to weigh how it would stand up against that new doctrine the supreme court has issued. we think the pathway that we are choosing here is available even with this doctrine in pl

a judge granted guardianship to myself. and my brother. the judge ordered a court appointed attorney as well as another evaluate option by a court appointed psychologist. at that point, to professionals declared my mother. so much to our surprise, the newly appointed attorney insisted on a third evaluation. it resulted in the same conclusion. now to the cost of my mother's state of over $8,000. this was the first indication that something was wrong with the guardianship system. soon after, the inventory of the estate was filed which valued my mother's estate a little over $2 million, including the business owned my brother and i successfully performed guardianship duties for almost a year. regardless, the court appointed attorney insisted on a new plenary guardian, a lawyer who admitted had no previous experience working with large estates business or families who were actively. this was the second indication that something was wrong with the guardianship system. in 2018, my mother's assisted living facility told us they had not paid in mo
