But why are we doing this one one fiscal year worth of funding?
James Hendon
1:16:22
Good question.
1:16:22
So right now, the most it started out the first year was $1.50.
1:16:27
The next year funding, remember we skipped a year in the state's plan, the next year was 400.
1:16:32
It went up to $4.16, then goes it's currently gonna be at $4.28 as far as the f y twenty five amount.
1:16:40
And then after that, because the state does a cost of living adjustment, we know that it'll be at least four twenty eight with what comes from f y twenty six.
