low cut connie, the philadelphia rock and soul band fronted by adam weiner, has also canceled their appearanceartisan arts venue. quite the pickle for trump's new kennedy center, right? because here's the thing about the arts you actually have to be able to sell tickets, sell out seats people have to want to perform at and attend your venue, especially in the arts, which are historically underfunded throughout the world, and specifically, the kennedy center, which is a public private partnership, relies on ticket sales for the vast majority of its revenue. but with trump at the helm, good luck finding those performers. unless it's like kid rock, kid rock, 365 days a year, kanye west and his $20 swastika shirts, that one opera singer trump swayed to with kristi noem for an hour. the village people has anyone ever actually explained the multiracial gay icon village people to america's fredo corleone? let's see who else amber rose, maybe, or the assorted rappers who support trump but are shunned by the culture. but it isn't just about the kennedy center. trump is likely to have a chilling effect

so senator weiner and eric lynn as shown here have introduced senate bill 63 which is an intent bill that is expected to eventually carry the final language. it will focus on raising much needed operating funding in particular for muni bart and caltrain that have the highest deficits in the region. so mts has recently completed polling expected to be released this week and we've invited them to come to the february 25th meeting to present the results. >> so in other advocacy priority will be to maintain prior year's state budget commitments of transit operating funding. so these funds were included in the governor's january budget but the subsequent wildfires and everything happening at the federal level means that the may revise might look significantly different. so these prior year budget funds are important but they are one time and meant to serve as bridge funds until local and regional funding can be approved for transit operations. so given the magnitude of future deficits we see that there's no one revenue measure that is going to solve the problem. >> so a long term solution

weiner zero, i -- mr. weinzierl, these payments are being made on planted acres. crop insurance operates on planted acres, as you know. title i payments payout base acres leading for payments on commodities not even grown. you believe that payments on planted acres is a more thoughtful approach to commodity assistance? mr. weinzierl: i think that we had some apprehension relative to that program that on reflection planted acres really aligns well with addressing the input costs that are affecting us on the crops that we are growing right now. with the payment structure being moved up, the payment is going to hit when it needs to hit and not a year after our market. i think it's worth the committee considering trying to figure out how to reset, align title i to be more responsive. rep. budzinski: my last question is, do title i payments sustain your operations? mr. weinzierl: over time we have received very little title i. we probably won't get anything in 2024, possibly. in 2025 there might be a title i payment. it's not in our budgets from a cash flow standpoint.
