otherwise appreciate your vote Representative Pilkington for what purpose you re you're recognized thank you Mr Speakerpresentative Johnson in this amendment or even in the whole appropriation is there anything that specifies how much certain individuals or group can receive a raise I know that we're only doing a 10% increase in this budget but obviously there are concerns about certain people the staff getting38% raises40,000% rate or $1000 worth of raises and I think that was a lot of concern. Are there any safeguards in this to make sure that that's not happening that some people in the office are receiving unproportionate raises my understanding is that the discretion of the secretary to decide how that money is is allotted. see no further questions appreciate your vote thank you
