and then going back to the governor also please please please everybody listening please continue to reach out to your representatives both senators and assembly members and tell them that we need absolute full funding of prop 98 the governor is still talking about withholding some of it and just an inside scoop some people feel that this is going to be created or presented as a choice between fully funding prep 98 or funding the medical shortfall that's resulting from the federal government withholding funds it doesn't have to be that way the state has plenty of money so we can push to get
