[Senator Alison Clarkson (Chair)]: So, we are going to be fully transparent. And first, we're grateful. Thank you very much for all the things we have agreed to together. And I think this has been good work. But we have to be fully transparent. To be fully transparent, I'm gonna let the people who had the experience with the governor share their experience. So Chris, would you be kind enough to share the experience and meeting you had with the governor a few minutes ago?
[Senator Chris Bray]: Yeah, so before we came back in previously, we as the Senate and the governor were under the assumption we're coming back with a with a new cap based on no tips on set. And the Senate's position is gonna continue to be in support of the governor as well where the governor stands on this bill based on my recent discussion with him that we're gonna stay at the $200,000,000 cap and have no TIFF sunset that we were originally at before.
[Representative Tom Stevens (House Co-Chair)]: Alright. Thank you. Do we need any clarification, gentlemen? The only remaining, just point of difference. So our remaining My understanding
