This is the essenfial first step toward funding for the' 31 projects <br /> on the Waifing List. in order for these funds to be made available for the Wafting List,it is now necessary for <br /> the Governor to file a bond bill and for the legislature to pass it.. We have been told that the AdrAnistraton will <br /> file a bill supporting funding for the Waifing List in September. Funding for projects with existing grant awards <br /> is in pike and is not confingent on new bond authorization. <br /> tt : r il. l r net.org/PreviewM .a Se N --469144208, 8113/2007 <br />
