There is still the elegibility concern Ted talked about

Then we should discuss preferred standards for that.

Perhaps an income threshold added to the existing criteria?

Tack is gone, but we need to get some direction on refining the concerns in the text and the same question still applies thus.

regardless of the sponsor feedback I've noticed a rogue 'e'; I'm not sure if the chair still has the power to fix grammar changes without a vote!

Yes I can fix that.is that in your amendment only or the underlying text.

Treating my previous post as an objection period, so I will probably start a vote here on my lunch break later.
