@FriedgeHNIC I think you are missing the gloomy economic forecasts. We're barely out of the pandemic and likely headed into a recession. How long? Who knows? Layoffs are in 10s of thousands in the Sharks market.
I think this is the reason commissioner is trying to be cautious.

The oft-repeated story is that @RepSpeier committed her life to service when she was in Guyana. After being shot five times, Speier, then 28, vowed that if she made it out alive, she would become a public servant. https://t.co/Jmais285K3

@allartburns Such an odd mix. A dozen chairs, handful of desks and fancy whiteboards.
