Description
Discussion of VAN FY25 Request at the Senate Committee on Appropriations.
Throughout the week, the committee continued to work on the budget, finishing it up on Friday. VAN’s allocation of $1m in base funding continued to appear on various documents that were reviewed by the committee, and they repeatedly confirmed that they were supporting this allocation. Also on Thursday, the committee briefly discussed the streaming tax (S.181) and Senator Sears once again expressed opposition to the bill, saying it is a “double tax.” Senator Kitchel pretty quickly shut down this conversation.
