I would encourage you to be more specific in what you're talking about, but with respect to the grassroots organizations who receive funding, it's the community fund. It is an open call for proposals. All of those applications go to my officials and it is for the officials to decide if they meet the requirements and the terms and conditions. Then they approve and bring them up to me for a recommendation as to what they think I should be supporting and not supporting. I trust my officials and the good work they do, and I accept their recommendations—not without challenge, but I do appreciate the good work they do.
