members anything else on this topic we thank all of you for coming and helping it was a very robust discussion and appreciate what you do members the next meeting of legislative joint auditing
considered privileged information confidential information okay thanks all right thank you
all right any comments in response to
chair okay members we've got three in queue and i've got now representative
to have to move on. I've got Senator Hammer. You're up next, sir. Thank you, Mr. Chair. Just give me
pays it on the back end okay all right uh thank you very
to was responsible for driving that decision or is
but i was wondering if the the entity that i was referring
it's failing me right now there's a little entity out here that that keeps popping up every year and I think is it is it Johnny he's from Conway he's now that is directed with UAMS I was trying to figure that name somebody help me I'm having a senior moment here but there
that but but is it you're because I'm
then who who is the entity that's actually getting that money and doing something with that money is that you or is that another little segment out here
that legislature's got to take the lead on that who is who is so statutory statutorily required
in that particular category. Would you mind addressing that particular category from your perspective because obviously of all the different areas you know to as Charlie Collins drilled into us if we want to be a good jobs magnet then we want to make sure that our information is going in the right you know our resources and information going in the right spot so on maybe that one I would like to hear on that that category that'd be the research tax credit that
you. I will say on that, too, I think that the one, as we get ready for the next person in line, there's the one section that obviously seemed to have the negative payback
do that representative Richardson you're up next sir you were you were you
good members we do have six people in the queue just so you know so from here on out if we will let's be specific on the questions and if we need follow-up we'll
of handling that yep it well I just was thought I was helping there Senator Elliott is that you're really you're really looking for how can we get better communication with the legislator to know about some of these opportunities that are happening in the community
who is aedc's person or is there no longer a person that's specific to that miss doughty
she can't cover insurance and she can't cover banking and she can't or shouldn't really there's no way to do that so she's she's kind of your overarching for the department but so
