Now, you can have a boatload of money.

You can then throw the money at it and still get nothing.

Then you can have some instances where these organizations get just a little bit of money.

Tony Mantor: Why Not Me ?

They use it efficiently and it goes a long ways to helping those that need it.

Tony Mantor: Why Not Me ?

So do you have an oversight committee that watches this?

Because ultimately, when you create legislation, you have to have money to back it up.

Tony Mantor: Why Not Me ?
Senator Manka Dhingra: A Senator Maps The Gap Between Passing A Bill And Actually Helping People

And of course, everyone is always worried about where are we going to get that money?

Tony Mantor: Why Not Me ?
Senator Manka Dhingra: A Senator Maps The Gap Between Passing A Bill And Actually Helping People

And then how are we going to budget this?

Tony Mantor: Why Not Me ?
Senator Manka Dhingra: A Senator Maps The Gap Between Passing A Bill And Actually Helping People

Senator Manka Dhingra: A Senator Maps The Gap Between Passing A Bill And Actually Helping People

Yes, COVID hurt so many things around the world for sure.

Tony Mantor: Why Not Me ?
Senator Manka Dhingra: A Senator Maps The Gap Between Passing A Bill And Actually Helping People

Yes, that makes total sense.

Tony Mantor: Why Not Me ?

Now, I spoke with a state legislator here a few weeks ago, and I'm wondering if you have the same issues as they do.

Tony Mantor: Why Not Me ?
Senator Manka Dhingra: A Senator Maps The Gap Between Passing A Bill And Actually Helping People

They have a difficult time getting psychologists, psychiatrists, doctors, etc.

Tony Mantor: Why Not Me ?

to stay on.

So they're trying to implement funding so they can help these people get through college.

Tony Mantor: Why Not Me ?

And once they graduate, then they give so many years to the state for the funding that they put up to help them.

Tony Mantor: Why Not Me ?
Senator Manka Dhingra: A Senator Maps The Gap Between Passing A Bill And Actually Helping People

Do you have the same issue as some of these other states do?

Tony Mantor: Why Not Me ?
Senator Manka Dhingra: A Senator Maps The Gap Between Passing A Bill And Actually Helping People

I think that says a lot about your state and what you're doing as far as higher education.

Tony Mantor: Why Not Me ?

And then of course, keeping people there to work and help those in need.

Now earlier on you mentioned about prisons being the number one in health care and of course hospitalization in the country and of course you're 100% correct.
