Hello! Deb Frisbie Michigan Kinship Care Coalition

Will this be linked to CTM's Prevention Awareness Day at the Capitol?

Gonna have my bot take meeting notes

https://zoom.beulr.com/

I am using this app from Zoom. Let me know if you want a copy.

Thanks Melanie, great idea! Please do send a copy. teri@michiganschildren.org

We will make notes, the PPT, committee lists, and this recording available on our website later today at https://www.michiganschildren.org/2020-2022-lunch-learn/

Karen Staub, to your question about CTM's Prevention Awareness Day, we can do cross marketing in advance. Feel free to reach out to discuss. teri@michiganschildren.org

Any committee on housing? Does that fall under Family, Children & Seniors?

Toni - We'll ask that question in a few minutes.

Thanks!

Everyone, please feel free to post your questions here and we will pose them next.

Karen, I've got you in the que for questions :)

Many times emails are sent to our legislators and never get acknowledged or answered. How do we get their attention?

Deb - Got it. We'll pose your question next

I agree with Deb. I rarely hear back from our local senator and representative.

Is the public comment time restricted to agenda items for the day?

I am all set

Sure, my question was answered. Thanks!

Is there a place that shows what specific funding that 9 million surplus is made of. for instance is it TANF funding etc..

1. Thank you for the website. It looks helpful. It currently lists the committees for 2021-22. Any idea of when the new committee assignments come out?2. Is the agenda for a committee posted publicly somewhere?

Thanks for this Matt. I had a phone call from Lisa McClain's office, but have never had a reply from our local folks in Lansing.

Natasha, We will get that corrected!! Apologies. We do have new lists and will get those uploaded.

All - please reference last Friday's bulletin for the newest committee assignments. https://mailchi.mp/michiganschildren/test-1848135

Thank you!

If you have another question, please drop them in here.

Could you explain the source(s) of Michigan's $9 billion surplus. Also, is this sustainable or one-time money?

All - this is where you will find resources from today's session as well: https://www.michiganschildren.org/2020-2022-lunch-learn/

Thank you for the information! I have learned a lot. Have a great day!

Thank you.
