Learn Moreabout PBS online sponsorship- I think there's no shortage of problems for us to work on up at the Capitol.
I think one of the main themes you're gonna hear this year is about the state budget and the various impacts that are happening, because of the federal cuts, 'cause of federal tariffs, et cetera.
The station alone, as you heard, is the lost, you know, over a million dollars just due to federal cuts.
And so we have hundreds, thousands, probably of organizations that are very, you know, well intentioned, do great work, nonprofits in the community, et cetera, and they've lost significant or at risk of losing significant funds.
A lot of them are coming to the state right now to try to, you know, be held whole or at least to try to stop the bleeding.
